An avid reader long before eBooks came on the scene in the 1990s, I have lots of bookmarks tucked away for keeping my place in a paperback. It just so happens, two have found their place inside: Petals by Anna Casamento Arrigo and Dharma Bums by Jack Kerouac.

Bookmarks have also secured a special place in my heart for various reasons:

It could be for the inscription, like the parting verse on the front side of my Aunt Viola’s laminated obituary in 2003—“…But fill each waking hour in useful ways.”

Or, my favorite Tower of London bookmark my sister had gifted to me upon her return from a high school class trip to England. It kept my place for years. Until misplaced. I’ve lamented its loss throughout the passage of time. I’m thinking we may have parted company during the shuffle of moving.

In the capacity of a writer, I’ve forged ahead in drafting Chapter 28 (572 words thus far) of my Contemporary work in progress.

*May each of us mark the passage of time with memories worth keeping.

My sincere appreciation to you for reading this far.
