As I organized my bookshelf one day, I was admiring the bookend that I inherited from my mother after she passed away a few years ago. I love that bookend and it evokes a strong emotional feeling of gratitude in me. I think of my mom and her book that she wrote, and her love of science and philosophy. It is the only bookend that I have and I thought that maybe I should look for a couple more to add to my science/metaphysics section of the shelf. I had only the ‘feeling’ of the type of bookends that I was looking for ; all I really knew was that they had to have the same ‘feel’ as my current bookend from my mom.
