reading is peaceful, if all would read, we had peace everywhere

You’re probably right, but wouldn’t it depend on what one reads? 😉

Reading does come with that lovely sense of “Do Not Disturb” time, most peaceful indeed!

Frizz, was your Assistant Pacer Emily on the job? Because she must have done a brainwave connection to remind you that her favorite poet, who also shares her name, had the same thoughts about reading. Emily Dickinson wrote, c. 1861:
“Read – Sweet – how others – strove –
Till we – are stouter –
What they – renounced –
Till we – are less afraid –
How many times they – bore the faithful witness –
Till we – are helped –
As if a Kingdom – cared!
Read then – of faith –
That shone above the fagot –
Clear strains of Hymn
The River could not drown –
Brave names of Men –
And Celestial Women –
Passed out – of Record
Into – Renown!

dear Allyson,
our Emily Dickinson, rebirthed as a cat (sometimes a satanic mice & bird killer), is very happy, that you built the bridge to the original and truly peaceful Emily Dickinson!

Readers are also more intelligent. I can always tell when I meet a reader, they understand what I say! No joke. TV generation cannot assimilate a) cultural anecdotes, b) humor c) complex thought sequences. It’s really sad when you think about it.

This is great touches for read a book… I agree with you. To read a book is a way also to understand the people… to understand the life… You can learn to develop “empathy” too… Thank you dear Frizz, love, nia
