　　The Stories Are Still in Them

　　During a visit to my mother' s home, I joined her in the living room to talk, read and watch television. Facing a bookcase that has been in the same spot since I was a child, I let my eyes wander over the familiar volumes, many of which now have faded covers and frayed bindings.

　　"These books look so sad," I remarked. "Maybe we should go through them and toss some."
