Spacious Reading

Why read, searching for something new?

There's no prize for finishing.

Remember all the books you finished,

that you forgot?

Are you here for noise, or for truth?

The poetic is a mirror, not another screen.

So read spaciously, read with your whole being.

Open, listening, pausing - that the prose plunge deep and pluck

some chord of truth inside you.

Like this, just one page is enough.
