The Lure

To say No to offers of joining a group of people who are reading a book and discussing it on line with a famous author, to refuse to sign up for daily koans, to abstain from joining the ministry offering to start your day with a meditation, Biblical passage and short prayer as well as a musical piece by a well respected choir, to walk away from a chance to read 100 books from ten categories and check your progress off on a chart while receiving weekly uplifting messages encouraging you to read, read, read, to turn your back on a new recipe a week by a vegan cook, and finally to refuse to blog to a daily uplifting prompt —is difficult.

Perhaps some people experience no problem eschewing these lures on your time, individuality, free will.

This week I unsubscribed to a myriad of places offering me the chance to align myself with other like minded souls. I feel unencumbered, but know it is only a matter of time before I'm drawn to the next offer—one I can't refuse.


The Wall Street Journal has a new book club. The first book looks good—how can I refuse?
