There are portions you’ll start to read with socks on only to be knocked out of them by the end.  My time to read has been especially diminished recently and I wish I had given this more sustained attention. I think it benefits from that kind of reading.  One thing I really loved:  “He read once about a Sufi prayer that went ‘Lord, increase my bewilderment.’ That was the prayer in its entirety.”
