Read To One Another

Sharing ideas with my wife Mary, she mentioned that sometimes she does not have enough to talk about on phone calls but wants to stay connected with her daughter or others. So I suggested that she have one of her favorite passages ready from one of her favorite authors, and to read something to the person on the other end of the phone call. We all love to be read to, so reading to someone, even on the phone, can be a deeper and meaningful connection. Read what? Thoreau? Or a Comic Strip from the newspaper, a quote from a hero -- artist, or go to the Internet or book of quotations and you'll find numerous inspiring quotes and messages to share and talk about. Texing? Try a rhyming couplet to someone you love.
