SPEAK AS FRIEND

               I go back to old books.  I go back to old reads—one that feel as friend when, in reading, they speak to me again.                Walker Percy is one for me.  Even if few know or read him now-a-days, I do.                I went back to another read today; one I’ve read, I couldn’t […]
