Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

I finished the thriller Louise Penny and Hilary Rodham Clinton cowrote and it was terrific. Hard to put down, educational, characters with depth and difference, issues that are hot button right now. It was fun and I hated to see it end. Now I'm reading a mystery that is light and funny and totally engaging, The Man Who Died Twice. Lighter fare after the heart racing of Penny/Clinton's book. I'm also slowing reading The Porch, a meditation on the author's porch and porches through time. I know it doesn't sound entrancing, but it is, because the language is so beautiful. I'm juggling books for my every mood. I've just gotten into this habit in the last couple of years, but it suits my life right now. And if I don't pick up a book I give it away. Life is too short to be reading something that doesn't absorb me, and I no longer care what others think of me or what I should or shouldn't be reading. It's freeing.
