There was a first love.
Showed me a world
I dreamed of.
Living the artistic, creative life.
Three Winnie the Pooh books he gifted.
Unfamiliar at the time.
The love didn’t last.
The gift with me ever since.
I collected some special editions
later on,
like this little one.
It’s always near.
When in doubt,
lost for a moment,
how to tackle a problem,
a bit bored,
one way or the other,
I’ll pick it up.
Read
and smile.
“
And for the first ten feet Tigger
said happily to himself,
‘Up we go!’
And for the next ten feet he said:
‘I always said Tiggers could climb trees.’
And for the next ten feet he said:
‘Not that it is easy, mind you.’
And for the next ten feet he said:
‘Of course, there is the coming-down too.
Backwards.’
And then he said:
‘Which will be difficult…’
‘Unless one fell…’
‘When it would be…’
‘EASY.’
_ A.A. Milne
