About
As humans we have the exceptional abilities to learn and to choose. This book is filled with insight and encouragement: to be kind, to be ethical, to be forgiving, to be loving. A slight shift in perspective takes us from despair to hope; a slight alteration in outlook, and the world changes. We have the potential to grow beyond our greatest aspirations.
This gentle book provides the peace, solace and support for living joyfully in our current world. It reminds us that hope is never far; we can find it within ourselves. With each passage, we are invited to enter a life of joy, and to sometimes shift perspectives. With each passage, readers are given a vantage point to allow us to break free from our dead ends.
