The Marvel of Books

Thoughts are an ever inspiring realm. From the raw materials needed to produce one, to the timeline of observations and checkpoints, to the final polished idea- its such a rewarding trip. Especially if this thought is a product or predecessor of experience, fact, or a combination- and it happens to be accurate. Or at least, highly logical.

Books are pretty much someone's idea, after being cut, trimmed, manicured and polished. The idea may be simply a caboose on the train of thought, it may be the rails the train travels on, or it may be the brick wall the train wrecks into. What's amazing is that when thoughts are recorded into a book, they automatically gain power. They transmit themselves from my mind to yours, and now you are looking at the same picture, in the same way I am. Books themselves are powerful- for they can add to our already established ideas, diminish them altogether, or create an entirely new world of thought one had never even imagined possible.

For example, below is a quote:

"Some make up for in body what they lack in mind. My body is simply a vessel that carries my mind carefully and comfortably."

Now how many times had you thought of a body as either an encasement for a brain or just a shiny shell? Chances are, now you will, from time to time, think of in the way I did.
