New thoughts for common experiences.

I have been putting together a book list for this year's study believing that the best of literature has value to any who take the time to read and study it. My lists are really for myself but anyone can use them if they wish. I have found that merely the process of starting brings into my life the things I need. So with a book list I start and find that the very book I am reading is speaking to me of the things I need to consider and hear at that time. This has happened too many times to be mere coincidence in my opinion. But whatever it is, it works. So I encourage others to start filling their thought and heart with the best there is and follow the path that opens up for you. The destination for all of us I believe is the same; the pursuit of abundant life. The journey varies and surprisingly is adapted specifically for the individual. Life is indeed an amazing journey full of wonder and at times almost heart breaking tenderness. The most tender moments are often found in the darkest and most painful of 'adaptions'. Oh, to live a life without pain, travail and loss. We often want it but thankfully our wants are ignored in favour of our very present needs if we are to reach the object of man's eternal desiring.
