Glimpse A Bookcase, Glimpse An Inner Life
Used with Permission
In the old Victorian mansions such as this one, a whole area had a library for all the family books. It was often in the round area of the house.
Whenever I visit anyone, anywhere, I always browse through their books. Library, hotel lobby, friend, acquaintance, doctor or dentist's office...it doesn't matter. Of course I ask for permission but no one ever refuses. I think you can get to know a lot about a person by perusing the contents of their bookcases.
Do they have lots and lots of books? Do they have a few cherished ones? What are the subjects? How do they arrange the books? Are they messy or haphazard, or are they methodical? And relevant to the age of the person, what have they chosen to keep after a lifetime of experience?
Or if they are parents, what do they choose/allow for their children?
So here are the contents of my own particular bookcase...and you will know more about me after your tour is over. Enjoy!

Spiritual/Seeking
This is by far the largest category
Angel of the Dawn © 2009 by Richard BurnsI have religious texts from many religions, and little spiritual postings in many magazines and pamphlets. I have studied world religion extensively.
Eastern, Western, old and new, extreme to mainstream, I have
probably studied about it.
Just for the sheer story telling power of it, one of my favorites is Autobiography of a Yogi, by Paramahansa Yogananda. I loved it so much that I bought a leather copy!
I also have several Bibles, the Bagavad Gita, and many spiritual books, obscure and not so obscure, including very old ones and many books about angels.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HERE IS MY FAVORITE e.e.cummings POEM
(transcribed exactly the way it was written)
i carry your heart with me
i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear, and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are in my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which
grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
