I love books .... (now that's a surprise from someone who works in libraries!!) I especially love old books. A dear friend recently gave me a copy of Requiem and Other Poems by Rainer Maria Rilke. I was so touched by my friend's thoughtfulness. Literary works such as these really take me somewhere far away. Books more than anything else in my life have that power. They offer a meditative journey, a chance to be transported. When I return to reality, I am much more centred. I find reading a good book as valuable as meditation.
I've never known any trouble that an hour's reading didn't assuage. Charles De Secondat (1689 - 1755)
