The Weight Of Quiet Things by A Poet Who Never Stopped Dreaming

This was a very touching and reflective book to get you thinking deep about life in the everyday moments we live through. Personifying the everyday items we encounter to face head on thoughts and feelings especially negative ones, we may face. There was mini poems of daily life and objects existing with us in peace whether furniture or plants the mundane everyday, so exciting in always being present and ready for us to encounter and enjoy. Threads, about ties that move us in life help us travel and purchase, to find new joy and aadventure in life. One particular point of withholding touch, especially with loved ones, to appreciate other senses showing love in other ways of exploring the meaning and sense of showing love. Objects speaking without words was an exquisite look at how much objects speak to us, without us realising they care for their purpose in their silent sure ways. The Night Window was exceptionally touching to me, often after midnight, if I can't sleep, I will browse out the window and look for other signs of life or listen to chat shows overnight feeling like another world has opened up in the darkness, a new community born from seeming dark and quietness. It is a nice flowing read and short compared to many books but still made me reflect more than many others, very impactful and insightful.
