As I mentioned yesterday, I am clearing out a room – 75% boxes of book, 25% art stuff. The bonus is that I get to go through the boxes of books before I shelve them in my husband’s office. It’s like meeting up with long lost friends. (Which also happens to be what I’m doing here, now, in Kansas City at Art & Soul.)
So many books in my collection relate to exactly what I am going through now with my present time practice. Yet now, they take on a whole new meaning. You may not be able to step into the same river twice, but you can dip in and out of a book again and again.
The book doesn’t change, but the reader does.
