I got a couple fantastic gifts from my friends this birthday. Justin got me Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, which we promise to read together, and Lauren got me The Red Book (which I've been wanting for a yearrrr). I've only peeked through both, and I can tell that within their pages lie many thought provoking and spiritually awakening words that will surely resonate within me.
For now, I am enjoying the company I keep, the smiles I receive, and the warmth surrounding me (although today it's hot as BALLS).

When reading content from an author who has significant meaning to you, it is wise to remember to take those words with a grain of salt. In this world, outside of math (and some science), no one is absolutely right, nor is anyone absolutely the same. From experience, words are dangerous, treat them with caution.
That said, I would love to read the Red Book too.

I definitely agree that the words should be taken with a grain of salt. More than anything, I am looking forward to learning about this man, reading his inner thoughts, experiencing what he went through, that sort of thing.
I don't think we need to treat words with caution, we just need to remember to hold lightly onto them.
Words are dangerous. Words are empowering. Words are limiting. Words are the beautifully delicate strands that invisibly link our experiences and become the scaffolding of our awareness. From my experience, I get the most from words when I treat them with love.
