This is the second time I have read this book. I am grateful to my former professor for editing the book and introducing me to it. I love the way the author demonstrates a meditative, thoughtful life that is ready and willing to learn from the experiences in life, even those that seem small and insignificant. The old language may be a turn off to some people, but I find it charming and comforting as if being welcomed into the loving presence of a grandparent’s living room.
