Description
From the Dust Jacket
Life is filled with beauty — we have only to see it. This little book brings together the cherished moments that make each day, in Emerson’s words, “the best day of the year.” In thoughtful writings and quiet photographs, Tender Moments captures that part of life that is rare, beautiful, and good. Inspiration comes in John Donne’s words: “No man-is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent….” Happiness is a flower in the Koran’s verse: “If I had but two loaves of bread, I would sell one and buy hyacinth, for they would feed my soul.” A friend, for Robert Louis Stevenson, is “the present you give yourself.” From the Far East a Chinese proverb uplifts the human spirit: “If I keep a green bough in my heart, the singing bird will come.” With the words are photographs that enrich their profound meaning: of children playing, of young people sharing, of the glories of nature, of the natural gifts of life. Tender Moments points the way to happiness. And it answers the questions of living in a very special way — with beauty. Writes Oscar Wilde: “What is beautiful is a joy for all seasons and a possession for all eternity.”

Generally sent the same day payment arrives.

See the shipping page for the cost to send a one-pound Media Mail package. Insurance is an additional cost as described. I am delighted to combine postage and insurance costs if you purchase more than one item. The second item may travel for free or just a few cents more — so it’s worth taking a look at my other items before you complete your order.
