No matter how busy our lives, we often experience pivotal moments that cause us to pause and contemplate the mystery of daily living. In this eloquently written collection of personal reflections on everyday life, Patricia Williams draws on her encounters with people, on the natural world around her, and on global events. Gathered together here for the first time, these thematically organised musings range over topics such as nature, culture, the inner self, te ao Maori, faith, unity and our global crisis. These brief but often illuminating insights offer hope for a brighter future and invite the reader to explore a more thoughtful, contemplative way of living.
