deepening rabbit hole (or, oh! how beauty can be dark!)

can there be one too many blog posts about the crest of 2010?

eh.

although 2009 was a wholly heartshaking year, there are a few things i feel pretty pleased about. one is how much i read.

the number itself isn't all that impressive, but the point is that i read. with my outspoken commitment and outrageous love affair with the written word, i thought it time to prove that to myself.

this week is my first week back at my job, and today my fist visit to the library. i am caught up in the wonder that my job thrives on. the imagination that flows through everyone's stream of consciousness.

i hope i'm not being fooled by the spirited feeling 2010 is giving me so far. a week in and i already can sense that this year will be beautiful. days of exploration and friendly fragility have reinstated my belief that there is a higher cause for everything here.

2010 is about all of that: wonder, exploration, joy, peace, imagination, honesty, aspiration, and seeking a higher calling.

so today, on january 6, i added five more books to my literal pile of library loans. jonathan safran foer, roald dahl, lewis carroll, antione de saint-exupery, and truman capote will be my first indulgences of 2010.

alice in her wonderland, i know how she feels.

i'm off to my rabbit hole.
