Reading notes for the soul (tidbits I've collected in my journal over time):
- The books we read, read us.
- Feel free to wonder and wander. Don't lose the sense of letting the imagination follow along new and different paths.
- Diversify your reading. It is always good to gain other perspectives. Yes, even if you don't agree with them.
- Create and offer descriptions that swim with imaginative thoughts when you write. When you read such sections that greatly inspire, stop and read that passage again.
- The words we read, write, and speak teach us to pay attention and think about certain things in different ways. The quality of the words can dictate what you think as a result.
- Draw on the promises of God by reading books that offer imaginative stories and different places that stretch our minds in a way that leads us to deeper thinking about deeper meanings..
- Our job is to keep the narrative of hope alive as the world grows dark.
- We read Scripture to build our interior selves in wisdom. We have to be able to have confidence in our lives and beliefs when struggles come along, rather than wavering to and fro like a wave.
