Reading

Joyce Carol Oates, "Reading is the sole means by which we slip, involuntarily, often helplessly, into another's skin, another's voice, another's soul."

I love to read but this is probably why I don't get around to blogging much...between reading, knitting/crocheting, gardening and "life happenings..."  it just doesn't seem to happen.

Eugene H. Peterson explains in Eat this Book, "Reading is an immense gift, but only if the words are assimilated, taken into the soul -- eaten, chewed, gnawed, received in unhurried delight."  My healthy eating plan would be going a lot better too....if I did more "chewing on words" than on food.
