    <body><![CDATA[Read the poem &quot;The Invitation&quot; first. If it resonates with you, read the book. I think it worked well for me because of the particular space and mindset I am (sometimes) in right now. In other words, I am open to it, to what she has to say and how it resonates with things in my own life. ]]></body>
