Words in Sleep

1. Read only two or three pieces at a time, pause after each, and note your emotional associations of the day.
2. Keep a small notebook: copy down lines that move you and add one sentence of your own response.
3. No need to read in order; start with the chapter whose title attracts you most.
4. Skip what puzzles you for now and return days later; dreamlike writing rewards rereading.
