Reading for a Reason
September 19, 2007 | 12:25 pm
When you pause and consider it, the power of a book is truly amazing. Thoughts and ideas are amplified and transmitted through the seemingly mundane process of putting ink on paper. The aesthetic power of holding a book and turning its pages as you read is one that technology has yet to replicate, and there is even something about the smell of that combination that makes a book–paper and ink and binding–that contributes to the experience.
Perhaps more amazing is the connection with thought that occurs through a book. Reading an ancient text connects us to a deep reservoir of thinking, the energy of which still fills the universe. Connecting with people of other cultures creates similar connections, like the synapses of a universal mind.
The Open Your Heart series creates a multidimensional spiral of similar energy. The common thread of deep life truths and relational realities intertwine with pastimes and recreational pursuits that resonate with our deeper selves.
What have you read lately?
Let’s go!
