Audio book status

[Ashley Cooper]

hello friends,

does anyone participate in community groups where you read out loud to one another? i know that book clubs are enjoyed and loved by many, but i've never heard of one where the book is actually read in the moment aloud. i know this is such a special treat of intimacy, to read aloud to one another (lovers and children), i wonder about a small group.  i've enjoyed hearing the joy that this project has brought to so many people and the sense of connection found in adding live voices to the words. thank you to each of you for sharing of your experiences. i find myself moving towards an intention to start such a group (when time presents an opening to me). any experiences to share?

with love,
ashley

Hello!

Here's another voice in the many-accented chorus, reading out loud a book that we love to some friends.
My experience, too, reflects and echoes the remarks so far, so I have just reshuffled them to describe how it's been for me:

I so much look forward to hearing the whole with all the lovely people contributing to
this weird and wonderful project,
awed by knowing what a collaborative project this has been
deepening the sense of community with
delight that a group of volunteers around the world
are sharing the task
Yohoo,
Go Go!

deep reading
felt like a
hard fun
meditation
like honey off my tongue
funneee...
in the wee small hours
to let go of my need for perfection

grateful for the imagined connection we all will have with those who listen to Harrison's works and may be moved to another level of peace practice
around our planet
to yourself,
Alex, for the idea of how to do this, and for stepping up to take the leadership--thanks for setting the stage for all this fun and learning!
and
Harrison, publisher and others who have made this possible with such generous spirit

warmly, on a breezy day in Seattle,
Christy Lee-Engel
