I see Alannah's photo...and I see not books..but tomes of knowledge.

• History, music, art, and science
• Stories of the human condition, adventure, success, drama, and sorrow
• ....and lots and lots of poems about LOVE !!

There is so much garbage out there to read in the world...but this isn't the like the rest of the world now is it?

4 of Pentacles (Knowledge worth protecting)

No....this is in the "Dragon's Den"....where she keeps her most valued thoughts and values. Only 'THEY' deserve a place on the shelf in her most sacred space...her MIND!

Each of us has our own beliefs and in turn, we each have our own MIND. It is here we collect ideas, thoughts, and feelings on this life and build a bond with them, which in turn shapes who we really are. The saying "feed your mind" couldn't be any more true in this case....good stuff in..good stuff out.....bad stuff in...bad stuff out ! It is a constant struggle to maintain control of this space...almost as if we needed to have a pet dragon guarding our treasure so as not to let anything disturb what we wish to remain there !

...And we do ! It is our WILL ! Our Will is our Dragon who fights off the world's view that tries and force feed us!

She is a very dear friend to us and will fight tooth and nail to keep what we put in there "IN"...and what doesn't belong "OUT" ! We must remember to feed our Dragon properly so she will remain strong and ready to fight those who try to infiltrate our "Refuge".

Take time to pull down those tomes you loved once and reread them again. Build up your mind with the knowledge you trust to keep you strong and healthy.

Who knows?...get strong enough and you might be able to build another addition to the shelf rack !
