Although being a student callsfor considerable time spent reading what's required, I try to always have atleast a book or two on the side-- For the most part, thesetend to be poetry books. Emily Dickinson's life history should be considered amasterpiece to all. Although she died at a young age, the amount of beauty thatthis beautiful human produced is almost unfathomable.
A Book
By Emily Dickinson
There is no frigatelike a book
To take us lands away,
Nor any coursers likea page
Of prancing poetry.
This traverse may thepoorest take
Without oppress oftoll;
How frugal is thechariot
That bears a humansoul
A new life-long friend whoI will consider a teacher and brother gave me a copy of his favorite book a fewweeks ago. He told me only to read it if I was willing to have my life changed.And of course, I'm always open for change, and additional perspectives to beplaced on this beautiful life I have been given. I take this human'sinsight and wisdom with extremely high regard and I'm excitedabout what will emanate after the last page has been finished. The book is by Daniel Quinn and called ISHMAEL: AN ADVENTURE OF THE MIND AND SPIRIT. I urge everyone willing to embark on this journey with me.
