A book review.
So I mentioned in my post-vacation post that I read two books. One was a Buddhist book, which was meaty and deep. I’m almost always reading the meaty stuff.
But for the vacation, I thought, “If I even get to these books, I want one to be a vacation, like my vacation.”
I went to the bookshelves in the garage and looked through to see what would pique out at me. And I grabbed a skinny little thing with a beautiful cover called Speak.
Yeah, just Speak. So profound. How could I not take it with me and read it? Especially with all this creative doubt I’m constantly processing and sometimes blogging about and yet still manage to keep pushing the publish button.
Best of ’09 is a series of posts inspired by Gwen Bell’s The Best of 09 Blog Challenge. It’s a challenge designed to help me write more and rediscover more grateful moments in my 2009! Hopefully, 31 posts in 31 days ;)
I have a constant hunger.
It’s personal really. I’ve always been thirsty to know more than I know. And not just for the sake of knowing it but for some type of relief it offers to me. A kind of self-understanding it brings forward that helps me relax a little bit more into what is.
And so, following my hunger per usual, this has been the year of Law of Attraction.
I love books.
I love the feel of the book store and even the library (albeit it does feel dustier in a library, even when it’s clean and pristine).
I love the spine-crackling sounds of a brand new book being opened and the wonderful smell of it’s freshly inked pages.
I love the anticipation of finding something to sink my thirsty teeth into.
I love reading about and looking at the author’s photo (and imagining holding my own published book in my hands).
I love to be teleported into other worlds; whether they are completely imagined or an inner world being seeded and soon-realized.
