Gift from the Sea, by Anne Morrow Lindbergh
This book is a timeless work of art and a meditative journal on life.
I did not realize it was written many decades ago until I finished
the last page and read the author's biography (clueing in simultaneously to
her well-established historical prominence). She wrote with grace and
clarity. In spite of a full family life, she managed to find pockets of
time for solitude and reflection. I took inspiration from her profound
insights, written during extended and meaningful excursions to the beach.
