What can we learn from an open book? To me there are many things and ideas that one can learn from an open book. In reading nursery rhymes one can learn proper manners from what not to do, as seen in several of these rhymes. In reading short stories one learns the basics of structure and still learn the intricate ways to get along with others and begin to understand why certain things happen basically. In reading novels, the learning continues with even more intricate details of what is happening in the book and in even in living life.
Open books give us all an opportunity to peruse information for facts or just for fun. Even though there are eBooks on various screens there will always be paper books to hold in our hands and turn the pages to open our minds when there is an open book or books to gain our interest in one or more subjects presented by writers and even other professions that open the various worlds to all of us.
So, the next time you see an open book just pick it up and start to read it for there are a lot of surprises.

An Easter Bunny Tale
One morning while looking out at my garden I was amazed at watching what this one bunny was doing. It was a bright sunny early morning for the sun was just starting to rise and the sky was so vividly blue and the air was cool this early Easter morning. It seemed to be gathering something from the yards in mine and the neighbors as well. For some reason I went out and sat down on the porch and continued to watch him. He not really sure if it was a male bunny, as he continued collecting whatever he must have noticed me for he looked my way. He started hopping towards and when he got halfway in my direction, he showed me what he was doing. He had collected a few eggs that seemed to have an odd scent. This bunny has the most peculiar face when handling these eggs and he whispered these eggs are rotten and cannot give. There will be more fresh ones in a few minutes. I sort of just sat there kind of amazed for I thought the Easter bunny was made up for the little children to have something to look forward as we do at Christmas with Santa Claus. Never knew I would meet the Easter Bunny. He is almost like Santa for in a flash he was back and had fresh decorated eggs in his basket and no funny smell. He hopped to the other houses and replaced those eggs as well. The bunny came back my way and looked at me and twitched his little black nose and as he hopped down the street I thought I heard him say "Happy Easter to All and to All a Good Day."

Strange, I still collect books, yet find it harder and harder to stay interested in the topics, Vocal has set my mind on a higher plane. It has to be really good to hold my interest. But I still love the written words and books.
Great, Mark!! Nicely written and so true!😊💕💗
Beautifully put. Embracing the habit of reading can truly enrich our lives in so many ways.
