If that even makes sense. Perhaps I’m wishing for a book that doesn’t or cannot exist. I want to read something that is relaxing while stimulating and satisfying curiosity. I dont want something juvenile. It’s ok if it’s deep and thought provoking, but doesn’t have to be. It should not have conflict.

When I imagine such a book, I think of beautiful descriptions of a forest and the things that live there. The weather. The scenery.

I just had the thought that what Im describing is poetry, but poetry is something which I’ve struggled to enjoy.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

    Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. I read it years ago and was taken aback by how calming the read was, while at the same time opening my mind to what was at the time for me, completely new thought processes.

      Read it recently and it’s a great and inspiring book, although there are some sections with quite a bit of rambling, which was not exactly easy to read, but definitely worth the effort, and after completing the book it also came clear why – and like you said: new thought processes!
