WOW!
If there is a rating more than five stars, I’ll give this book a six. It’s one of the best books I’ve read to date, my 70th out of the 100 books I challenged myself to finish for Goodread’s 2016 Reading Challenge. I am afraid my review would not be enough to describe the beauty of this book, how well-written it is so I won’t even attempt to write one. Suffice to say, this book is beautiful, inspiring, awesome…..beautiful, inspiring, awesome. Truly a masterpiece. Lisa Wingate is a gifted writer.
I didn’t know I was on the last page when I read these lines.
“None can contain the magnificence of a wave kissing sand or the perfect spiral of a shell drying translucent in the sun or the fire of morning over endless water.
Or the beauty of a hummingbird as it hovers just an arm’s length away, mysteriously out of season on the day before Thanksgiving, it’s wings stroking air,rapid, invisible, powerful. Frozen in time for only an instant.
And then it flies away, growing smaller and smaller against the blue of an endless sky. Until finally it disappears into heaven.”
There are so many lovely quotes that I found in this book that I copied to my journal. The prayer box reminds me of another blog post I wrote exactly a year ago. My thought box is a discarded chocolate tin which contains square scratch papers of different size and color (filled with words, quotes, single lines, messages and reminders) which I have to sort out again whereas the prayer box is a treasure trove of inspiring words and letters religiously documented over the years.
When a book touches you where it matters the most, it is certainly a winner.
