Standing Still
There are very few moments in life where time truly stands still. When your breath is taken from your chest and your body hangs weightless in that moment. Just long enough for it to stay with you from that day onwards. Deep in the red sands of the Australian Outback, I found that moment and clung to it forever.

Inspirational list & love it!!!❤️❤️💕
This captures the essence and allure of storytelling and literature. The transition in this is engaging. The idea of escaping into a book to be intoxicated by its power is relatable to an avid book reader like me. Loved it.
To me this is describing a writer and a reader.
cool
Pretty much me in a nutshell, lol. Books were always my first line of defense against a world I experienced as whelming.
