Midweek Chapters : A Reading Companion

There’s something oddly fragile about a Wednesday.

You’re not at the beginning anymore — no bright Monday resolutions.

You’re not at the end either — the weekend is a soft promise, still out of reach.

And in this middle ground, the world slows down just enough for a chapter or two.

Not to finish a book. Not to learn something urgent. But just to read.

A page from something bookmarked long ago.

A few lines from a short story you’ve been carrying in your bag.

A poem, out loud, in your kitchen while the rice cooks.

Midweek reading is about pausing between the rush of doing and the lull of resting.It’s about language as a companion, not a task.

Sometimes it’s a dog-eared paperback.

Sometimes it’s a magazine you forgot you subscribed to.

Sometimes it’s a text message from a friend who writes like a poet.

Whatever form it takes, the words don’t fix anything. But they hold you, briefly.And sometimes that’s more than enough.
