Dangers of Reading

After reading this quote from Joanne Kyger--

     "Writing for me is a kind of daily practice.  Even if you 
     don't have anything to say, you keep your hand in -- that's 
     the journal, just jotting something down, observations of
     eternal weather.  I find if I don't write for awhile, I become
     very uncentered.  But that's because I'm used to using the
     journal as a kind of focus."

--I leapt up and slammed my forehead into the corner of
Molly's bedroom door -- blood rushing into my eyes, lips, chin.
