Beautiful & Thought Provoking

Hits my all-time favorites list. A perfectly well written book about what it means to exist as a very aware human. Colorful and descriptive articulation about being connected to and accepting of the internal and external limits while transcending beyond them. Wonderful, wonderful book.

I love this author!

I wish the author were my neighbor. She speaks a wisdom I spent a painful life acquiring. If only everyone could grasp her insight, much human suffering might be lifted.
