It is now come to pass that we are Spirits in human form.

I kept this in the living room so I’d pick it up frequently. I enjoyed finding an entry, reading it twice, then pondering it while I went on with whatever I was doing. I choose other books when I’m going to sit and read for a while.
My son was visiting and asked to borrow it. I might need another copy! 😀
