Sometimes the bookmarks I find while sorting used books are reminders. They remind me of other times and viewpoints, or of books and authors I’ve not yet read.
This bookmark about The United Way reminds me that the charity organization once used a more overtly Christian religious appeal than it does presently. “Share your blessings,” it reminds us all in red at the bottom. The text reads:
Mark him much blessed who scorns no other,
to whom each stranger is a brother,
for he walks in the steps of Him above
and lives in the warmth of His great love.
And this bookmark featuring the author Maya Angelou reminds me that I’ve never read any of her books. So many books, so little time.
