What we have above what we can use is not properly ours, tho’ we possess it.*
Benjamin Franklin
Nature bids us do well by all. … Wherever there is a human being, we have an opportunity for kindness.**
Seneca
Hands up if you’ve read James Joyce‘s Ulysses? –
(My hand stayed down);
Who’s heard this line:
“What’s yours is mine and what’s mine is my own”? –
Which comes from Ulysses;
Dare we take a look at what we have and announce
What’s mine is yours? –
Time, talents, kindness, concern, love:
Beware, adventures at hand.
*Lewis Hyde’s Common As Air;
**Ryan Holiday’s The Daily Stoic.
THIN|SILENCE 
Ulysses is sitting on my bookshelf waiting to be read. I procrastinate because I feel like it’s a must read rather than I want to read.
Thanks for this, Majella. I had to come up with a plan to read books I might otherwise not finish – well, it’s not much of a plan. My main reading is in the morning, with my journaling; I tend to end the day turning the pages of a novel, but if there’s a book I’m struggling with, I’ll read this first – I’ll just turn a page and then put it down. Eventually I get there. I’m coming to the end of one, and I have a small pile of others waiting. If you get started, let me know what you make if it.
