I am a product of endless books. my father bought all the books he read and never got rid of any of them. there were books in the study, books in the drawing room, books in the cloakroom, books (two deep) in the great bookcase on the landing, books in a bedroom, books piled as high as my shoulder in the cistern attic...in the seemingly endless rainy afternoons i took volume after volume from the shelves. i had always the same certainty of finding a book that was new to me as a man who walks into a field has of finding a new blade of grass.

If you study japanese art you see a man who is undoubtedly wise, philosophic and intelligent, who spends his time how? in studying the distance between the earth and the moon? no. in studying the policy of bismarck? no. he studies a single blade of grass. but this blade of grass leads him to draw every plant and then the seasons, the wide aspects of the countryside, then animals, then the human figure. so he passes his life, and life is too short to do the whole.

I like this thought: your mind is a cupboard, and you stock the shelves. let us make certain that our cupboard shelves, and those of our family members, are stocked with the things which will provide safety to our souls and enable us to return to our father in heaven. such shelves could well be stocked with gospel scholarship, faith, prayer, love, service, obedience, example, and kindness
