This one I wanted to copy, because when I looked at it, it made me feel quite relaxed.  I have really been thinking about how relieving it must be to be able to just walk around and have a brain FULL of information and what would be even better is for it to be full of smart information.  What I gather is that one obtains a large portion of that info from reading.  How relaxed she looks, reading; knowing she is getting smarter by the second.  I supose the other thing that I truly adore about this photo is how patient she must be at that moment.  Don't you think, when you are totally relaxed reading, no other noises around; you are not in any rush.  Lost in the world of someone elses story.  You have all the time in the world, and yet I know that she really does not feel like she has all the time in the world.  But at the moment the shutter snapped; she did.

Could I possibly project any more of my own issues into one photograph that I did not even take and Penny probably said "hold this book, look like your reading, yeah, yeah, that's good." then snap, and laughter. No, she really wasn't reading at all.

Maybe we all should just read more.  Because, she WAS reading after all!  The power of suggestion, projection and interpretation!  Whew!  Thank goodness I am not getting paid to tell anyone's future.
