In Touch With Myself
UFOs, Telepathy, Automatic Writing,
Astral Travel, Near Death Experiences,
These were the things I read when
I was a child.
When I was a teenager, I learned
That biographies and autobiographies
Are fascinating. Then I got into mysteries.
They are the chocolate caramel to my
Reader’s palate.
As a young mother, I gave up reading
Completely, because I was too busy
Watching Sesame Street and Electric
Company, because my children did
Not want to watch it “by myself”.
I do not think I read a book for
Fifteen years; maybe one, but
That’s a maybe. Now my children
Are grown, and I am pleased
To say I can read anything I
Want.
I have a Kindle; you can store
Books on it. I have about two
Hundred books stored. I
Looked at them recently.
UFO’s, telepathy, and astral
Travel are right up there
In the mix. So are Near Death
Experiences.
It’s funny that my reading
Tastes have not changed all
That much in the past
Fifty years.
I think we are who we are,
And when we find that out,
We know what we want to
Know, and do what we want
To do. Anyway, I’m certainly
Guilty of that.
I laugh as I reach for a
Biography, feeling more
In touch with my thirteen year old
Self than I have for a long time.
