Do you like to read?

I love to read! While I like a good family saga or a juicy romance, I do read a lot of books related to or about yoga.
Recently I saw a posting about two books that a fellow yogi wrote, so sight unseen I purchased her two books. I met Ruth about thirteen years ago when she was an MFA student at the graduate school where I work. Ruth was teaching yoga then and she would occasionally offer a class to anyone who was interested. So I bought and received the books:  An Offering of Leaves and Sweeping the Dust. The books are a collection of her own "dharma talks." Each "talk" is only two to four pages long. You can pick it up for a quick fix and then move on to whatever you were doing. Maybe it's her subject matter or maybe I'm simply "conditioned," but each time I pick up her book and begin reading, I am transformed into my quiet mind. When I put the book down, I actually feel like I've taken a yoga class or just sat in meditation.
Love and kisses to all,
Namaste!
