I have officially deemed this book my own personal Bible I am not a big poetry fan, but the poetry and writings in this book are absolutely beautiful, and almost other-worldly in some ways. It is a great addition to my library and it's one of those books you can pull off the bookshelf anytime and read just one poem or keep it on a night stand for a nightly reading of affirmations, or just read straight through it. I love this book.
