I've procured a portable e-book reader from Amazon.com (The Kindle 2) and I've sure become a voracious READER again. What a joy to connect to other minds through the written word...I've read a couple good pieces by Tom Robbins, Hemingway, Melville, The Urantia Book, The Tao de Ching, The Art of War, Gulliver's Travels and all the other book I have enjoyed or that I am only now learning to enjoy very much. There is good food in books. Also, you can email/USB upload any document from your computer to your Kindle and back again. How nice!

There is a certain clarity in the written word, you know? When I put something down on paper, it becomes so much more...REAL! Things are progressing well these days. I feel relatively in touch with happiness. Life is just a day's work. Practice makes perpetual.  "The methods work if you do..."

I am a wandering fool-poet-philosopher-bard-healer-performance artist undergoing some kind of spiritual experience with Jesus Christ at the helm. Meanings and values take you further than the facts alone. We are given, almost as the gifts of sincere Love and faith, access to the invisible realm of divine values that nourish the soul: joy, patience, forgiveness, compassion, harmony, wisdom, peace, etc......

I suppose I'm continuing the great chain of writers who are trapped in their libraries. I have a degree in creative writing & modern lit and I am working quality assurance for an AT&T call center. Reach out and touch someone. Life could be far worse, yet somehow it seems to be getting better. Go figure. This whole experience is full of blessings and surprises. The change always starts from within, right?

Go pick up a book. Get inspired! Words can change your world.
