"Every new beginning is just a first step away. Do you have hopes, dreams and wishes for the future? Or even just something you have been meaning to do, or longing to achieve? Why not make a start today towards making it happen? Nothing grand, nothing onerous, just take one small action to set you on your way. Cathedrals are built one stone at a time, and although they may take generations to complete, they would not exist at all if someone hadn’t been bold enough to lay the first cornerstone." This sample extract on "beginnings" is typical of this collection of philosophical prose on the art of daily living, where each page contains a reflection on a different topic. It is a celebration of the wonder of life - its magical moments and meaningful mysteries, its powerful purpose and perplexing paradoxes. In bite-size portions of inspiration, you can enjoy a feast of ideas on subjects like art and ageing, books and beginnings, dreaming and dignity, flowers and friendship, love and loss, radicals and responsibility, success and silence, travel and touch. Every page is a new window on the worlds without and within.
