Silence

Make your way into a library, as you enter remember to be quiet, a library is a place for learning and silence. Run your fingers along the the shelves which hold our history. Try and find the oldest book in the library, what is it called? Open the book and flick through the pages seeing the words delicately printed flash by. Smell the old pages to calm you. Go sit down on a chair, sofa or bean bag and read the blurb and see if it inspires you. If it does not put it back and change it, find something else that can interest you. Listen to the silence and feel the energy from others around you or is it just you, you and the books alone together, so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Drop something on the floor and see if the librarian tries to shush you, what object did you drop? Read the first page of the book in your hand and pick out the words that you enjoy the most, say them out loud to yourself hearing every sound that makes up the word. Ask if you can take the book out. Take it home and read it, take it home and enjoy the language the author has used to create the text. what book did you choose?

For this podcast the generic items are the books and the librarian.
