I make a point of reading every
day. I admit that I love to read,
so it isn’t exactly a burden. I
also think of it as my self-directed continuing education, which is why I
manage to report on my fitness-related reading each week.
Sometimes, however, I have to
slow down. I have not finished
reading another book that has relevance to this fitness blog. (I am, however, deeply engrossed in
Gregory Maguire’s Egg and Spoon.) Life is not entirely about fitness,
after all.
I am reading and coloring my way
through Netter’s Anatomy Coloring Book
by John T. Hansen. Coloring is
slow. As the pallets of
adult-oriented coloring books in stores attest, coloring has become a thing. This is not entirely surprising to
those of us who never forgot that coloring can be peaceful, meditative, and
absorbing. It is also a good way
to spend time looking at structures and embedding their images in the mind.
So far, I have not colored very
many pages. I will be coloring
pages for a long time. I’m sure I
will read things in between that I will write about. For now, I will simply suggest that it is worth it to go
deep rather than fast from time to time.
