Book Of _____

[qos]

Last night, after my Battlestar Galactica marathon (four episodes in a row), I picked up a small notebook that was living in my purse for many months, and found a lot of notes about spiritual practice and meditiations that I had simply lost track of.

This morning during my LJ reading, I copied and saved a Rumi poem from iswari and the description of a ritual from anglican_druid, filing them in very different folders on my hard drive.

And I'm realizing that it would be a really good idea to finally put all my spiritual / magical / meditational material in one place: rituals, poetry, prayers, notes-to-self, and etc., so I can actually go back and find and use them in a consistent fashion.

For me, a computer is a lovely storage facility, but it's not much use when I'm in a meditative or contemplative mode.

I need the feel of paper against my fingertips. . . the ability to turn pages quickly or slowly. . . to open a book at random or flip through pages until something catches my eye.

And an index. A really good index.

So true. Fan whirr for ears and screen burn for eyes (someone badly needs ot invent a screen that's based on reflection not back projection), and it's just kinda "wrong" somehow.
