IT’S MONDAY AGAIN.

Carmel Rowley

In a race between reading and horses I admit reading probably passes the finishing post by a nostril! But when I find a book about horses I’m in heaven. Nearly as much excitement as writing one.
Apparently reading puts our brains into a pleasurable trance-like state, similar to meditation. Do you know that wonderful feeling of relaxation and calmness that you get from a reading? I know I do.
I also know I sleep far better when I read in bed and if I’m stressed the first thing I do is seek out a favourite book.

The author Jeanette Winterson wrote:

“Fiction and poetry are doses, medicines. What they heal is the rupture reality makes on the imagination.”

Happy Reading and enjoy your week.
