Been kinda' stressed about trying to read again. I used to read a book a day (I don't sleep much). Once my pain levels reached a certain point my concentration reached a point where I was not retaining the last page I read. It was like someone killed my best friend without telling me.
It has been about a year since I finished a real book... I have been dipping back into my old comic collection from time to time (a long shot from ancient religious texts, great fiction and new physics journals).
I am pretty scared/apprehensive about this... in a way it would just be easier not to truly know it was gone.
I am not used to being scared of anything. I have a couple of choices I have been thinking of, couple by His Holiness The Dalia Lama or Thich Nhat Hanh. Perhaps re-reading an old favorite like the Three Pillars of Zen?
I miss the constant support of my path by these readings.
However, I wonder if reading some fiction may be "easier"... not what I think about when I think of reading, which I often do.
