For your words and your insights about a Lamp at Midday.<br /><br />Your Italian thunderstorm sounds marvellously elemental!<br /><br />There are so many books that I've picked up only to put aside because I couldn't get "into" them and yet, later, when I read them at the right time for me, they had a profound influence on me.

I can't read in automobiles anymore though, I get motion sickness which is weird because I never had a problem when I was a child.<br /><br />One book I'll always remember is one I picked up in a train station in India, while I was waiting for my train to show up for a long journey. I picked up a English translation of ancient Indian political ethics and was fascinated by it the whole train journey. I sat in the compartment and read sections out loud to my father, before discussing with him the relevance of that particular wisdom today. <br /><br />I agree with you that sometimes we have that realisation that we were meant to read a book at that time and that place.<br /><br />JaiJai Joshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04858987106548357551noreply@blogger.com
