Book Marks

by Mark McKinnon

Over the course of many years, from the time I began to read with intention, there have been luminous words, sentences and paragraphs I wished to bookmark so as not to forget them. Notes were written on legal pads or nearby napkins and more recently computers which allowed me to jot them down contemporaneously and save them from oblivion. The thought was to one day compile them into some sort of comprehensive anthology of written thoughts I believed were meaningful. It’s not always entire books that change people's perspectives, often it is just paragraphs or sentences and this is what has been gathered and presented here. Being knowingly forgetful it seemed important to me to bookmark these human expressions, some of them two thousand years in the making for my own edification and hopefully to kindle an interest in others to more fully explore what sparks their curiosity.Mark lives in Carmel Valley, California with his long time partner Laurie.
