If you mean to write you must read,
broadly and with your heart; anything,
everything, no matter what, with your
nerve of passion
Read not for the race; rather, read slowly,
softly, and listen to the pace, notice the texture,
wait the hush
So what to read? Words
And how? As if your very life hung on the edge
of a given one
In truth word is gift, so receive each, such that
you may share its suchness, by passing away
with its passing, in the process, absorbing all
words
