Books and Weather
I love this time of year! Wow! Autumn storms are incredibly sensual - the roiling dark blue and grey clouds provide a visual feast while the ears are filled with the deep rumblings of ancient gods. The aroma of fallen leaves and sharp tang of freshly exposed sap and heartwood mingle to fill the nostrils. Dry, storm-front winds swirl and caress and tease long hair skyward. And the eyes, if quick enough, are filled with the brilliance of that elemental force, electricity, sending tingles of recognition through our own circuitry.
This is an excellent time of year to curl up with a good book and a nice cup of chammomile tea! Being the bibliophile that I am, the books keep pouring in. (Thank the gods for my day job!) I have found another kindred spirit in Margaret Lobenstine. Margaret wrote The Renaissance Soul. Basically, it’s a guidebook for people like me who have a multitude of interests and can’t or won’t settle on just one thing. The opening chapters clearly define my personality traits in the descriptions of other people Margaret has worked with in her profession as a life coach. Her writing style is relaxed and I feel a sense of comraderie in reading her words. A big THANK YOU to Margaret for writing this book! And now, I’m off to read!
