He is absorbed. But his posture is kind of like mine right now and that is about what my desk and house look like. I just want to sit and read.

  I just want to sit and read, too. That should be my mantra! I quite admire his library, by the way. It’s lovely.

  Isn’t this painting so lovely? It’s amazing. I just love gazing at it. Sacred is a good description for it, by the way.
