I agree completely. Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.

When from our better selves we have too long been parted by the hurrying world, and droop. Sick of its business, of its pleasures tired, how gracious, how benign is solitude.
I love that advice and I think it will work. Often I go back and read old journals and discover things about my self (and my mindset) that I didn't notice at the time. It's like reading a stranger's words sometimes.
I have friends who have told me that reading for enjoyment is not accomplishing anything. I would never tell them that watching sports 15+ hours a week doesn’t accomplish anything because Lynda would have kicked my rear for being rude. Why does doing something enjoyable rank as a time waste? Hope you and Linda continue to live an enjoyable life.
