It was a moonlit night in Tudor Residency, the rain clouds were kept at bay. The wind blowing was extra light – one would have to be very sensitive to the weather to feel it. I am sensitive in a positive way to the weather. I have to adapt to it in order to go for my daily walk in any kind it presents (offers? / throws) at me.
I started on my 10 kilometer walk. This was one of the days when I started my walk late. “Late” here was because I usually go for my walks in the afternoon. Yes, the afternoon, when the sun is supposed to be at its scorchiest (1). I also started my walk, bringing along with me a copy of my just published book, SPARKS OF JOY – SEIZE THE MOMENT.
I stopped by at Rahmath Cazi’s home on 4B street which was a few hundred meters away from where I live. I hand delivered the book to her. We are part of the Tudor residents community.
Rahmath and her husband have been strong supporters of my writing work. She is an avid reader.
As soon as Rahmath knew my book was published and was available, she texted me and said that she would love to have a personalised copy. So, here I was, delivering a copy of my book to her.
Rahmath is one of the growing number of book owners from our Tudor Residents community who now has a copy of SPARKS OF JOY – LIVE THE MOMENT. More and more, from the community are texting (WhasApp) messages to me, requesting for a copy of the book. It looks like our Tudor Community is gaining momentum into reading actual books, which is totally a good thing.
One of the main reasons why reading an actual book is better or an advantage is because there are no distractions from it. You can concentrate and / or focus on what you are reading without the distractions or interference like pop-up notifications and messages that you would otherwise get on your device screen.
Lets revive and build on this momentum of numbers in reading physical books and re-take our rights back into wanting to concentrate and focus on the things we do without distractions.
In the three pictures below, you can see the words “SPARKS FOR JOY” are illuminating like “sparks”. These are caused by the reflection of light.š
After I delivered the book, had a chat and took some pictures with Rahmath; I continued on my 10 kilometer walk. The weather was being good and inviting me to walk…I could not resist the invitation.šš Happy reading!
NOTES:
1. “Scorchiest” means the most intensely hot or burning, or the most severely critical or caustic. It’s the superlative form of “scorchy” or “scorching”.
Though I did not think such a word existed, the meaning of the word is as what I intended for it to mean.
