elegantly written

This book should be a classic. The author has a rare talent to express self awareness in delicate but direct terms. Simple to read, can be taken in short segments. This book doesn't tell you what to do, but rather make you think about who you are.

Keep what I love and leave the rest.

I learned this "story" years ago and find great parable value in it. I was interested in the entire writing and found that I will remain connected with the Hole in my Sidewalk story; the rest of the work didn't call to me.

A Gem

An excellent book. I will pass it on to a friend but first I will read it again. A friend recommended it. Well written; a true gem.

good adjunct to Portia's poem.

Little quips with food for thought. Not a "read." It's okay but not a must have. I probably would not order it again.
