“I woke up thinking a very pleasant thought. There is lots left in the world to read.” ~ Nicholson Baker
It’s been a while since I’ve made myself a regular at any cafe, but at the early stages of a new project, this is where I find myself on the daily – a practice that is grounded in ritual and tradition, and one that I have made part of my routine. Even if I do nothing but read a bit (currently ‘A Box of Matches’ by the great Nicholson Baker) it is time well-spent because crafting a ritual is a form of meditation unto itself.
“That was the problem with reading: you always had to pick up again at the very thing that had made you stop reading the day before.” ~ Nicholson Baker
