The other five year journal I got. Like I said, obsessed.
At home playing on my day off from work
Day 44: Born to be a librarian (by ILoveDoodle)
Your work is to discover your work~ The Buddha
And then with all your heart
To give yourself to it.
But if you do not find an intelligent companion, a wise and well-behaved person going the same way as yourself, then go on your way alone, like a king abandoning a conquered kingdom, or like a great elephant in the deep forest~ The Buddha
Had this book on hold at the library and picked it up yesterday. I’ve only had the chance to flip through it briefly but can’t wait to look through it more carefully.
After over a week of stubbornly trying to force-feed myself this (rather short) novel, I have failed to suffer past page 78 and am throwing in the towel. I know I should know better, but it’s a Pulitzer Prize winner and Marilynne Robinson called it “truly remarkable”! Oh well, onward to the next read.
Obsessed with five year journals right now. If I’m not careful I’ll be spending all my evenings filling in one sentence in a bunch of different journals! How cool will it be to look back on if I’m able to keep up with it for the full five years?
