Savor the words

I can't stop thinking about this quote I read yesterday that goes like this, "I read until I am the thing renewed." I love how this quote is articulated. When I read, I feel like I'm growing in wisdom, humility, cleverness, charm and so much more. The words become a part of me and change me for the better. They speak to my spirit and stir my soul. With each word and with each page until the last - I am the thing renewed.

There's nothing like reading a great book, right? It's funny how each book I read becomes a favorite. I long for the words to teach me, to speak to me, as if they were written for only me... I read with urgency to reach the end, to fully taste the richness, and for a moment...savor them...while wishing it never ends.
