Wow! And that's an understatement.

Putting this book on the back burner till I can slow down enough to fully appreciate.

Excellent.

The current actions of our government has left me feeling fearful for our democracy, our people, our planet. Compassion seems almost unattainable, a thing of the past. The wisdom in this book is soothing. There's a lot of good discussion and a lot to take in and reflect. I've highlighted many lines.

This keeps getting better and better.

My goodness is this ever impressive!!!

Strange, definitely unique.

I can't remember the last time I was so captivated by a book. Just can't put it down.

Prologue: Year 1177. Hildegard, age 79, along with other nuns have just finished digging up a cemetery. Oh my. What could have possibly led up to this act? I'm hooked.

Light and enjoyable.

Light, fun, mouth watering reading.

I'm using an audio book for the first time. Really enjoying the story, but I keep falling asleep! Pages completed. No clue.

Failure is knowledge. Nothing more. A little bad luck, some stupid decisions. Nothing more. Hmmmmmm.

Weird, in an exciting good way.

Zoom. Zoom. This book has taken off like a rocket. And I'm hanging on, totally immersed.

"In all your deliberations in the Council, in your efforts at lawmaking, in all your official acts, self interest shall be cast into oblivion. Cast not away the warnings of any others, if they should chide you for any error or wrong you may do, but return to the way of the Great Law, which is just and right. Constitution of the Five Nations. Powerful wisdom for those who were called savages.

"Silence is the mother of truth" for the silent man was ever to be trusted, while the man ever ready with speech was never taken seriously.

Chief Luther Standing Bear, Teton Sioux

"From what I hear, Ike can't count to twenty-one unless he's buck naked."

Never thought about the women in the lives of the Earps, nor their impact of their men. Wonder how much truth there may be. This is a good read.

Better than expected. Having been to Tombstone several times, there's another dimension of actually knowing some of the places mentioned.
