well, believe it or not i have managed to finish a book. well, almost. its not that i am a slow reader. its that, i read about 8 books at a time.
this irks my husband.
my sister, however, gets it. "it's like watching tv and flipping channels. you read what you're in the mood for."
exactamundo!
so for the past few months, i have been reading several books, but mostly i have been savoring the delicious writings of mark nepo in his book, The Exquisite Risk: Daring to Live an Authentic Life (thanks to libby for turning me on to him). i am down to the last chapter, but am savoring it ever so slowly, because i do not want to end my love affair with the book just yet.
"nothing matters now but the instant where all i am mounts like a wave for you. nothing but the instant my hand parts the air between us...nothing matters but emptying, until the softness we call spirit bubbles through the tongue and words fail in utter adoration"
This is the art of living.
thanks mark nepo.

My purpose,
at last,
to hold
nothing
back.
My goal:
to live
a thousand years,
not in sucession,
but in every
breath.
