"The collective practice not only stimulates our empathy with fictional characters, as we try to imagine what they think and feel, but also with our fellow readers in the group. Sharing our thoughts on the texts that we read, we are taking care."
¬An interesting article on shared reading practices by
Jürgen Pieters, Professor, University of Ghent

A journey between bibliotherapy and shared reading, where books become tools for healing, reflection and connection between individuals.

Even in hard times, there’s always a reason to keep walking.

As imperceptibly as Grief
The Summer lapsed away—
Too imperceptible at last
To seem like Perfidy—
A Quietness distilled
As Twilight long begun,
Or Nature spending with herself
Sequestered Afternoon—
The Dusk drew earlier in—
The Morning foreign shone—
A courteous, yet harrowing Grace,
As Guest, that would be gone—
And thus, without a Wing
Or service of a Keel
Our Summer made her light escape
Into the Beautiful.

~ Emily Dickinson, As Imperceptibly as Grief

We grew up, yet somewhere inside us
lives a barefoot child, chasing light until dusk.
Summer comes to remind us.

If there is a month of excess, it is August. Let it be for a good cause.
Take care.
