often when reading
one wonders where precisely
light is coming from150

A conversation about New Year Resolutions yesterday set off a chain of thoughts about resolving. I’m amused by the thought that for as long as I can remember I’ve made, at some point in every year, a resolution to read more, to ‘make time’ to read more. This is because, I think, reading almost anything helps me to re-solve, to re-configure, to re-work almost anything! It’s like contemplation and meditation – reading brings with it a ‘sitting with,’ a lighting up of neurons, a degree of illumination.
I’m all too easily sidetracked, but some resolutions never quite let us off the hook. I’m grateful that ‘to read more’ persists in reappearing.
