H: Haven
A good book is a haven from the world. Whether it's to explore or to escape, reading a book is like being in heaven.
Heaven:
noun - the abode of God and the angels
noun - any place of complete bliss and delight and peace
Haven:
noun: a shelter serving as a place of safety or sanctuary
noun: a sheltered port where ships handle cargo
Sanctuary:
noun: a consecrated place where sacred objects are kept
noun: a shelter from danger or hardship
See the similarities? I never really thought of a book as a shelter before, but I guess they can shelter us from our own insecurities, or even open ourselves up to them. What a quandary!
What do you think? How do you view books? A haven or something else?
Books have often been my haven! I'm trying to visit all the A-Z Challenge blogs this month.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a haven, also a fund, an adventure, an escape, a rest, a way to enthuse... oh, the list is endless, as are books!

Books do offer a bit of bliss and some escape from the norm.
ReplyDeleteBooks are most definitely a haven - and and escape
ReplyDeleteChristie,
ReplyDeleteTo me, the only book that is a true haven is the Bible. All other books are merely an escape or break from life.
Neat question.
