Luis Soriano, a teacher in rural Columbia, took it upon himself to run a mobile library, using two of his burros (donkeys). He carries books between small towns, hoping to improve the next generation. And books do improve their readers.

There are better and worse books, of course (and a few that are actually bad), but the act of reading a book is considerably deeper, and more effectual on the inside, than video, reading snippets or in most cases even more effective than listening to audio.

Sr. Soriano made himself a book evangelist, apparently at his own expense. There’s something deeply noble and deeply rewarding about that.

So, before returning to mundane thoughts, please recall some times when you read something deeply… when a meaningful book changed something inside you. Consider ways to give that experience to others. Sometimes it will work and sometimes it will fall flat, but assuredly nothing will happen until you try.
