This is probably the most influential book I've read. It was given to me by a woman in her late 60s years ago; she referred to it then as her "Bible." Since that time, I've read and re-read this book for its lyric and profound insights -- but also to explore my own reactions to the text. What resonates one year is often not the same in another. The process of reading and thinking about the book becomes a mirror for my inner life. If you give it a chance, your life will likely. That can sometimes be difficult, though, so pick it up when you need courage or you feel like you need change.
