books are the new boyfriends

so, i have been pretty much reading non-stop lately. and i must say, i love it. my brain is ingesting and ingesting all kinds of new things. and i am happy to say i have found some new favorite foods for thought:

"truth is an eternal conversation about things that matter, conducted with passion and discipline." -parker j. palmer

i agree with this. it bears a striking resemblance to Alma 32, in my mind..

Also: (somehow these are related in my mind)

"Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things." -Mary Oliver
