There is a clock ticking somewhere. But the time here is beyond itself, and it can't be squeezed in. To calculate the time, here is another algorithm. There are books here that have been wandering for many centuries before their words reach our lips; There are young people here. They were born yesterday and grew up in the confusion and pain of a child with a hairless mouth. But they speak magical language, whether it is this or that, which shocks our breath and makes people feel excited. Moreover, they excite you and soothe you at the same time; On the one hand, they are seducing you, on the other hand, they are appeasing your newly aroused desire. So you gradually immerse yourself in them, you will calm down and experience, drift calmly in their melody and drift in their world on the other side of the world.
When reading, you are the purest. You are free from the noise of the day; Books, you are the most loyal and silent partner. You are always ready to accept orders. Your existence is permanent preservation and endless encouragement. How grateful I am to you! What does it mean in the darkest days when the soul is lonely? You are everywhere in field hospitals, barracks, prisons and hospital beds. You are always guarding, giving people illusions, giving people a peace in their irritability and pain! Whenever souls are buried in mortal lives, you, God's gentle magnet, can always attract them to leave and bring them back to their essential elements. Whenever it is gloomy, you always extend the inner sky to the distance for us.
Your little body, endless, quietly arranged on the unadorned wall. You just stand in our house, unremarkable. However, once you are liberated by your hands and touched by your heart, you will break through the daily work space invisibly; Your words will be like driving a hot car, taking us out of a narrow position and into eternity.
