AMONG the picture frames, stereo and bottles of bubbles (soap and toddler, not champagne!) our library has an official Borrowed Shelf. Books kindly donated to us for perusal, discussion and engagement with. These are books with a Return to Sender - though usually no date stamp. They have a definite future laid out for them, a destination. The Library, as it stands at time of writing. 03-10-13. 6:42am.

I noticed a few years ago a quirk in the new century that did not occur in the past century during my lifetime, only being a young 'un and all. That days, like today, have a curious mathematical perfection. 3 + 10 = 13. I decided to name these various days, today comes down as an addition day. Come the day in about three weeks of October 23rd (23 - 10 = 13) we collide with a Subtraction Day. ON days like these, today, my Addition Days, I like to focus on what I can add to the world. What can I give? What can I give up? How can I help? A little reminder of mindful awareness to add something to the world. AND when all the mass of particles in the world is already set out and pre-planned, all I can do is rearrange a few things to look a little different. Add some words together to make a poem, swirl some paints to create a sunset, sew some sheets together to make a hideaway den. SO today, join in the mindful fun of Addition Day, and see what you might add. Rose petals on the patio.
