An Interlude with a Book
I touched the book
and my mind went up in flames.
The words I read poured out wisdom,
I could barely breathe with the breadth of inspiration.
It was as if I was absorbing the book,
it entered my being and performed its magic.
I was ever so grateful for this replenishing experience,
I mentally thanked the author for being a conduit for this slice of catapulting creation.
Uplifted, refortified,
I closed the book,
placed it reverently on the shelf,
and continued on with the tasks of the day.

Maybe this is what our fast-paced world needs: books.
Personally I have the attention span of a short novel. I want to be able to read it in one afternoon. O God, I miss the days of the pre-internet world and brilliant Dutch children's books!
And of course I forgot to mention that this is a wonderfully written piece of art! :)
