October Reading Meeting
Attendees: Ruby, Abby, Mei-Wan
Place: Library Bio Area
Time: Oct. 31, 2012 12 pm
Description:
The
decision of next reading meeting was made today: it would be held on November
28, 2012, 12 pm in the library. And next Tea Time with Librarians would be next
Wednesday, November 07, 2012, 12 pm in the library. Members are welcome to
bring their goodies to share with their friends.
Who said
being slow is bad? At least, that’s not the case today. Ruby came late but she
was the first and only member showed up today. Due to her daughter’s going back
to the west coast, Lily, with help from Ruby, sent her apology telling us she
was occupied and would miss today’s monthly meeting. Family comes first and we
were proud of Lily having such a great family time with her precious princess.
Fiona was absent because there is a family in need of her kind heart and caring
soul to prepare and deliver food; the family is facing a crisis and fighting a
difficult battle. The kindness and generosity given in an untimely, unthinkable
crisis reveal a person’s authentication of compassion, wholeheartedness, care,
and love. A friend in need is a friend indeed!!
Though only
three members were present there was no moment of being dull, boring, or slow. Opportunity presents itself for those who are well-oiled,
properly equipped, and ready to shine. Today was Ruby’s show for not only did
she become articulate and talkative she was also able to improvise and play
along with the librarians who asked plenty of questions to bring out what’s
buried and hidden in everyone’s head, mind, and heart. It’s like a screenplay
was composed by the three participants and played right then when the story was
still smoking, fresh from the oven made of three women. I looked back and forth
of Abby and Ruby as they played the game of calling each other to ask the other
person out. It’s a play of genius. I am so proud!
Summaries
of Ruby’s and Abby’s have made me feel ashamed and a bit guilty for I was the
only one failed to provide one. Still, being the hostess, I had to share with
what I have had to be fair. The book I am reading is about journey of souls.
The cases and stories told in the book are about real people and real events
taken place in the author’s office for he was a hypnotist with a PhD degree. The
mention of the book and some cases in the book changed the topics allowing each
of us to share views and points about souls, human beings, and life itself.
At the
meeting I shared what reading means to me. Reading is not just about books. We read
events, the changes of seasons, the clouds high in the sky, each passing
vehicle driven by a person we might never meet before or again. We read people.
We read a person’s body language, her eyes, her outfit; we might read a person’s
soul by hearing, feeling, smelling, touching. Reading is not limited by format, form, or
shape.
Did you ever have the experience of
communicating with the Nature? It’s not that hard. When someone made your day
the sky became so open, borderless, and so, so huge that you felt you could do
anything. It’s your heart communicating with the Nature. The good feeling
opened you up and invited the fresh and ever changing air of Nature to get into
your system. You felt your heart was as huge as the sky above you.
Walk the roads of life, read things
around you, and your WOW moment will come as if it is always there waiting for
you to “discover.”
Read, read, read!!!
