But as vessels of narrative, the possibilities are broad. As we’ve said elsewhere, books represent astonishing depths. And long paths, too, describing shapes that can only be named by the telling of the stories that they are. Tributaries of thought that flow into each other and that never empty out or fill each other up, entirely. Theory and practice and world building; revolution called violence and reason called madness and knowledge called heresy; and it’s all here for you, unfolding as you act gently upon it. Information > Binnacle Books is a ALBB Sponsor, thank you! LEWIS & PINE 133 Main Street, Beacon This Beach Pebble Necklace from Lewis and Pine is dreamy!!! The minimalist look and natural texture is so perfect to grab & go or to feel fancy in while you work from home. Best part (drumroll please), this necklace is cast from a real ocean-smoothed pebble! So you will always be reminded of the calming sound of the waves no matter where you are.Get the coordinating pair of earrings, bracelet or ring! You need to... it’s just too good!
