How often do we as a culture wonder "who am I".... I passed my bookshelf, looking for something to read. I slowly went over the bindings of the books with my eyes and realized the next time I wonder that question, I will come here. What is on those shelves are like looking into my soul and seeing who I really am. What I cultivate within my mind.
My shelves are loaded with books in categories. I have herbal reference books on my top shelf,for easy access. Followed by homesteading, farm, and various animal care books. My next shelf holds many titles on nature; field guides, study of plants animals, botany, gardening, plant spirits and herbal majik. This is than followed by books on spirituality; in Christianity, Judaism,Native Americans and various other schools of thought including metaphysical studies. My next shelf is on homeschooling, and child rearing. The next has manuals of all kinds-mostly belonging to my husband as well as relativity theory, physics, biology and string theory. Next comes the stories....The giver, The Shack, the Celestine Prophecy, civil war novels, Native American novels, historical fiction, Madeline L'Engle, J.R. Tolkin, C.S Lewis, Jean Auel, the classics, ...The list goes on. Then there are magazines on herbalism, homesteading, and home school. Montessori manuals and other curriculum items. Then Last, but not least, my favorites.(usually kept on the floor near my bed);My tattered bible, The Course on Miracles, the Vines Bible Dictionary, and the Metaphysical Bible Dictionary. Oh, and the three latest books I am currently reading: Natural birth control, Nurturing the child's spirit; a guide to non-secionarian classrooms, and Bygones( novel on Amish life). So that in a nutshell is who I am. I literally am what I eat. And I love to gobble up books.
