Nowhere Is Somewhere

Truly, on the meaning of nowhere

it is, somewhere.

"Book lovers will understand me,

and they will know too that part of the pleasure

of a library lies in its very existence."

Jan Morris

George Peabody Library


Remember when the bookmobile was born?

Library on the Go and Read Rover
part of the mobile library service for the public library system in Baltimore County, Maryland

Libraries, and the books they hold 
take us places.
It's where we discover that nowhere,
really is somewhere.

Then,
imagine a place somewhere 
where-

"There are people everywhere who form a Fourth World,

or a diaspora of their own...

They share with each other, across all the nations, common values

of humor and understanding.

They are very wise!

When you are among them you know you will not be mocked or resented, 

because they will not care about your race, your faith, your sex, or you nationality, and they suffer fools if not gladly, at least sympathetically.

They laugh easily.

They are easily grateful.

They are never mean.

They are exiles in their own communities, because

they are always in a minority, but they form a mighty nation, 

if they only knew it."

and it's all in how they approach things.
