If I have to take a two-hour bus trip, I will spend an hour beforehand just figuring out exactly what I want to read. A magazine? A short story? Poetry? Why don't I just settle back in my seat and think? Actually, I very often end up doing just that. But I need to know that I have something that I want to read - for security. With that knowledge I can give free rein to my thinking. Indeed, in resisting the temptation to open the book, I am somehow sharpening my thought."-- Sven Birkerts –
I too, am very Sven-like, in my travels….
Have a great Wednesday!
