The Pause
In this poignant story, author Keith Gaddy Davis reflects on a time in his life when he found himself stressed, "over committed and under prepared" for the holiday season. A co-worker offers him a "pause" wrapped elegantly in a box with a purple ribbon. "What at first appears to be empty fills to overflowing." Remembering the significance of this unique gift at that harried time, Davis passes this gift on within this beautiful book. The award-winning design features expressive, photographic images of evergreen trees printed in dark burgundy and metallic copper-colored inks on festive, textured tan-colored paper. A dramatic envelope stamped with The Pause in copper foil encloses the book and completes the image of a cherished holiday gift. Beautiful to look at and appealing to touch, The Pause invites you to linger around the words, the images and their meaning.

I love this book! My sister gave it to me as a Christmas present over 20 years ago at an especially busy time of life for me. I read it each year early in the holiday season. It helps me to remember that I always have "the pause".

Everyone needs a pause once in awhile. Reading this book is a chance to slow down, refocus on what is important, and take a well deserved pause.

I wish this book was still in print. It would make a lovely Christmas gift for so many friends and family. A good friend gave it to me years ago, and I wish I could pass it on. Wonderful.
