Some really good stuff in here. Others passages were just okay. But perhaps it just depends on where you are at in life. A second reading might yield completely different resonant passages. Would be a good book for yoga or other teachers looking for inspiring readings for their classes. Writings deal with living, dying, nature, essence, ambition, and ease, to name a few.

Book #6. Open Passages - Doors and windows to the soul by Susan Frybort
They say beauty comes from a spirit that has weathered many hardships in life and somehow continues with resilience. Grace can be found in a soul who ages softly, even amid the tempest. I think the loveliest by far is the one whose gentle heart bears a hundred scars from caring, yet finds a way to pick up the lamp, one more time, to light the way for love.
Life is not passing by. Life is inviting you in. Inviting you into the simple and sudden moments of quiet. Life is not passing you by . Life is drawing you close.
In a culture of extreme spending and expectation, I still believe the best gifts can’t be bought and are wrapped in heartfelt sincerity. And it is through the act of giving itself that we grow as human beings. You really do have a gift to give in life, and the world is simply a brighter place when you share it.
