from this week in March, 2008 (I was 63)
It is hard to attract our reading attention
What’s the subject in what
form
What does the block of
print look like
How long is it
Is the language ponderous
or just difficult
Will our eyes focus Will we be captured
or will we feel we’ve read
it before why read it again
You can walk the stacks of
a library
feel like you’re being attacked
outnumbered by everything
you don’t know
take refuge in a few
familiar shelves
where even the light seems
better
and all the good ideas are
not from foreign countries
Travel is always an
adventure
It’s where we create the
resolve to work at home
if we can overcome the
presumption
that we know something
worth doing
