Altar Books

qosMy household altar is on the upper shelf of a two-level bookcase that, by necessity, also serves as my tv stand. (I'd prefer not to mix those functions, but my space and furniture are limited.) The bottom shelf contains my favorite of my oversize books -- or it did until about twenty minutes ago.
During my morning altar time my eyes kept going to those books, which are lovely, but never get looked at where they are. Then I thought about my need to move my spiritual/esoteric books from the corner bookshelf and put them somewhere more accessible. (Another space/furniture issue: when I put my books up after this last move, I put them, by habit, into the far left bookshelf. Which turned out to be sitting next to the only place I could store my treadmill, so they aren't easy to get to.)
The books which are most important to my path are now on the shelf under my household altar, where I can see them on a regular basis. Just looking at the titles is a good reminder.
Later I'll make a post about which books are there, and why, but for now I'm going to do a quick LJ skim, then shower and get dressed and retreat into my temple space to finally finish my submission to Lee Harrington's Spirit of Desire anthology. I've finally realized that working on that type of writing at my desk is counterproductive.
