I was introduced to this book by someone I didn't know. She gave it to a family member for Christmas. From the time I opened it, I was transformed. The value of this book is in the intimate surprise of the ordinary. The lyrical language describes common encounter with mystical joy. To say I love this book in inaccurate. I love the way this book elevates my perception of my experiences on this planet.
