so beautiful. contemplative and truthful and touching. this is one I absolutely want to reread because I need to own it and underline all the important lessons and ideas that I so resonated with and want to take with me in life. I loved that it talked about finding happiness in daily life, finding the magic and intrigue and passion in small things rather than needing to search for the huge adventures - both r just as miraculous. i loved how it encouraged thinking smaller and finding a passion that's just for you, taking breaks from the business of life to do something that is purely for joy, to escape from the pressures. on how it's hard to know what we're meant to be doing or feeling like what we're doing is unimportant or unnecessary or not helping anything, but how we don't need to be doing grand things - small things can make a difference too, and there are lots of amazing small things happening. there's so much more than this in this brilliant book, and that's why it deserves a second reading.
