<DIV>hello friends,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>with love,</DIV>
