The book nook - oh the perfect reading spot!
Set up in a little corner of a quiet room.
Good light, a comfy chair and a blanket to curl up in.
Our very own reading heaven.
I really LOVE to read and sometimes
I really NEED to read.
Those are the times when my head is churning,
mumbling on and on.
My inner voice has nothing kind to say
and my mind is frazzled from the weight.
Icky thoughts on scratched record repeat
and no amount of breathing or calming can shift them forwards.
This is the time I need to override my thoughts,
press the reset button.
I turn to my “go to” book list.
Special books set aside in their own special drawer.
These books give me an inner exhale
just as my hands touch the cover.
Some of these books I love for their words, their story.
Others for their imagery and colours.
They all create a calm in me,
as they take me gently by the hand.
Leading me away from the stress & nonsense of the day,
into their safe world of wisdom and pleasure.
Ahhh my book nook.
And the books that calm me.

Do you have your own stash of “go to” books or authors?
Because this is your month to snuggle up with a good one.
