Mindful

Every day
I see or hear
something
that more or less

kills me
with delight,
that leaves me
like a needle

in the haystack
of light.
It was what I was born for -
to look, to listen,

to lose myself
inside this soft world -
to instruct myself
over and over

in joy,
and acclamation.
Nor am I talking
about the exceptional,

the fearful, the dreadful,
the very extravagant -
but of the ordinary,
the common, the very drab,

the daily presentations.
Oh, good scholar,
I say to myself,
how can you help

but grow wise
with such teachings
as these -
the untrimmable light

of the world,
the ocean's shine,
the prayers that are made
out of grass?

~ Mary Oliver ~

Liked your review of Orhan Pamuk's Snow. I'm just starting in LibraryThing and find it so interesting because of its social appeal. Cheers!

I'm finally getting around to The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy and then will probably start in on the Cairo Trilogy by Naguib Mahfouz - I just encountered a short story by him in class and am eager to read more.

Hi Abhay K,
I am currently reading "Sacred Games" by Vikram Chandra. I have just started it, so not much to say about it yet, but I am looking forward to getting further into it. Before that I read Nathan Englander's new one (The Ministry of Special Cases) and it was quite good.

Hi,
I have recently returned to Classics and am reading Graham Greene's Stamboul Express. For a change I am also reading some non-fiction - Guns of August by Barbara Tuchman, an interesting account of the origin of World War I.
So what are you reading these days?

I saw that we share an interest in poetry. I thought you might get a kick out of my book Anarchy Bell. It's unlike any poetry book you've ever read, I can guarantee it. It's viewable at Suburban Fiction.com

Hey, thanks for the comment. I read City of Djinns and Delhi by Khushwant Singh together. It was the perfect cocktail.

Thanks for the comment/question. I really loved City of Djinns - I actually read it while I was staying in New Delhi for a couple of months, which made it even more fun to read. I was able to visit the places Dalrymple wrote about while I was reading about them. Why do you ask? Have you read any of his other books? I'd like to someday, but I just haven't found the time.

Right now I'm reading The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. After reading your blog, I think I'll put Orhan Pamuk's Snow on my list.
