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
