Celebrating Dolly has me thinking about the joy of reading books and how often I squander that pleasure by putting myself under pressure to consume pages.
We are all craving deep reading, deep thinking, and deep connection — and these all require deep time.
I went back this morning and re-read the interview we did with Maya Smart - Parent Educator and Literacy Advocate and was drawn to her phrase the “privilege of focus.”
Let’s start a spiritual book club where we read what we want, when we want, no meetings or deadlines - just a shared reframe of deep time as subversive in a world of shallow distraction, addictive scrolling, and unrelenting attention grabbing. ❤️📖❤️
