A Book is like a Choosing of Life

A book is like a choosing of life . . .

Pick up a book, about anything,

And if your heart is pure and true

You will find even in its unpleasant bits

Something to teach you, if you let it in, 

Without any preconceived judgment within;
And soon a greater wisdom found,
For having gained . . .
By losing what you thought you knew
