Of course books aren't the only way to "get through" and while I love to read and explore all sorts of writings it's always with the mindset that living and experiencing is a much better way of learning however, books certainly enhance our understanding. This book is a good insight, 6 years in France, much better..unfortunately I haven't travelled there.<br /><br />Thank you for your comments<br />BreezeCarolyn R.

Reading the book you describe offers meaningful insight into certain cultural preoccupations. Yet, a person needs to be ready and willing to receive messages apparent in such a book. Layers of wisdom exist everywhere and a person decides what to notice. I know someone who bought the book you mention for his wife. Part of his reason is because his wife is overweight. She has no problem with this, but she is also oblivious to her eating habits and how they influence her overall health. Her husband's gesture ended up with the book going on a bookshelf and not yet being read. The binding is colorful. Some people learn useful information also enters mind through osmosis, and telepathy and other means. Books are not the only way to "get through."<br /><br />Found your blog through your comments on C.Om's blog. Good stuff!Liara Coverthttp://blog.dreambuilders.com.aunoreply@blogger.com
