The Ruffled Mind Rises Again!

I've been thinking  for some time of reviving my long dormant blog, The Ruffled Mind, but until now have resisted the urge.  But it prods at me on these restless Novembers nights to allow it to arise from the crypt and walk again.  So, for what it is worth, here is the the Ruffled Mind once more...
 

The Ruffled Mind was born of sleepless nights, those nights when, for no good reason you wake up after 3 or 4 hours sleep and random thoughts roll through your mind and sleep becomes elusive and your mind becomes entirely ruffled.

On these nights I arise from my bed and seek the comfort of a good book; one that soothes my ruffled mind and allows me, after a chapter or two, to return to bed and to sleep.

The Ruffled Mind, then, on the web, is nothing more than a way of tracking and putting some form to my reading habits and literary musings, and other thoughts that sometime ruffle the mind.

As Charlotte Bronte wrote, "The ruffled mind is a restless pillow."
