My way back to you

With a cup of hot tea I begin to read books

I never finished because I got distracted by the many other things in this world.

To focus on the words in front of me with no desire to pick up my phone and get lost in the internet or my many phone games.

To breathe in the actual scent of printed paper.

To be inspired and delighted by the words in front of my face and to be able to take a sticky note and save some of that wisdom for another day.

I want to allow time to relax and be true as I get lost in a good book or two.

And even as I slip out of my present to be present with the words in front of me I know it isn’t all just for the pleasure of reading.

Because I’ve learned even in most fiction of books I still learn a thing or two.
