How to Read a Book

art by Niko Geyer

Breathe in the heady scent of the pages. Take a sip of the earthy ink. Swirl the words upon the palate of your senses. Seek meaning ceaselessly, for it is greater than the sum of its parts; it is newly-born and alive in its nascence with each permutation and combination of words. And you've got to find it. You've got to. It unlocks doors, and opens windows - arrests attention, engenders emotion, and invigorates imagination - that's how the light gets in.

Now, drink deep.
