The Four Agreements Bookmark

I decided to buy a bookmark because the bookmark I had recently acquired had gone missing after only one tour of duty. I previously used four bookmarks, often simultaneously, but these had become wrinkled and bent with age. Don't get me wrong - when I placed one of them between the pages of a book I had temporarily stopped reading, then later picked up the book, I could still find the place in the book where I had left off, with exactly the same precision and timeliness as if the bookmark had been freshly printed and cut and slipped in a newly-purchased bag of books. But every now and then you just need to replace your bookmarks, you know? Besides, in recent years my reading had slowed down considerably, so the four wrinkled, bent bookmarks doubly reminded me of my inevitable hurtle toward aging, superfluity and death. Anyway, I have this fab new bookmark for which I have great plans, and then, after a week away, it's not there. It's nowhere. I looked in the books I had recently completed, I looked behind my nightstand, everywhere, to no avail. That's when I decided to take action...I cleaned out the drawer in my nightstand and found an old notepad upon which I had long ago written four pretty wise bits of advice. Then I decided to buy a bookmark. When I entered the term "bookmark" in the Amazon search bar, I was presented with numerous choices, none of which appealed to me. As I was about to give up, I saw this Four Agreements bookmark. I immediately recognized the Four Agreements as the bits of wisdom I had left on my notepad many years ago. I took that as a sign and immediately bought one. Then I thought, "Hey, why not rage, rage against the burning of the light, sort of, and buy two?" So I did. They showed up two days later, and to my surprise, turned out to be so much more than I'd expected. Not only do the actual bookmarks show the promise of being able to stay exactly in the book where I place them, they come packed in a plastic sleeve with a black cardboard backing, each of which makes an excellent bookmark in its own right. So now, instead of two new bookmarks replacing one lost bookmark (that had in itself replaced four), I had six. I have to admit, the black cardboard backing gave me pause, for two reasons. First, it's black. Obviously funereal. But also quite stylish. I decided to focus on the stylish. Second, it has a punch-out at the top, obviously intended to facilitate its hanging on the revolving book stands of airport gift shops and other such establishments. But, if looked at in a different light, it's also a pretty cool, art deco representation of a sunset over the ocean. Wait, that's going back to the pessimistic side...let's switch coasts and call it a sunrise over the ocean. So now I have a stylish bookmark depicting an art deco sunrise over the Atlantic. You'd think that would be the end of the story, wouldn't you? But it's not. As these things often turn out, as soon as I had received my new bookmarks, I found the missing bookmark that had started all of this. Now I had seven bookmarks, which, by anyone's standard, is too many. So I decided to do the right thing by my retired bookmarks - rather than put them in some drawer or tucked away between the pages of a book I'd already read and re-shelved (sort of like a permanent working retirement), I tucked them in the nice plastic sleeve and gave them a permanent home in the notebook in which I record the titles of all the books I've read by year. So, to conclude this review, this is a great bookmark, of high quality, with excellent value and upon which are written four bits of quite useful advice. I heartily recommend it.

Did I ever think once in my 53 years on this earth that I would actually write a review for a bookmark? No, and I believe my past self, the rebellious teenager, even the angry and lost 20 to 30 year old me would laugh in my face right now as I write this. The thing is, though, many of my past selves were so close minded and pig headed. But thankfully, starting in my mid 30s, I finally started cleaning up my act and began reading spiritual books. The Four Agreements were definitely part of my healing and growing. All these years later, this Toltec wisdom still rings so true, so helpful, so liberating. When I saw this bookmark, I had to get it. The price was so inexpensive, I was a bit worried that it was going to be poorly made, maybe low quality. But, HO! I was so wrong. This baby came in an attractive sleeve, almost felt a shame to undress it. But as I slid this glorious book mark out into the sunlight, my eyes lit up and my heart swelled. This bad boy is beautiful, well made, the tassel whimsical and classy. Lest we forget about the Four Agreements themselves emblazoned in beautiful and bold colors. For a few measly dollars, this too could be yours, a reminder of those brilliant Agreements, and a useful tool to hold your place in whatever tone you are consuming. Hopefully it is a book that feeds your soul.

This is a very nice bookmark, and it is an excellent reminder of the Four Agreements you should apply to life. Very gorgeous.
