This week’s #SundaySentence from the POV of a dog, comes from Country People by Daniel Mason: He had only been outside once, but in that short time, he’d gathered from the winds a tale of roots and moles and worms, of ghosts hidden within the leaf-fall, of rats and springtails, mosses, snakes.
“Love is never wasted, for its value does not rest upon reciprocity.” ― C.S. Lewis #sundaysentence 📚 💙
