Critic reviews
"Gift from the Sea is like a shell itself in its small and perfect form ... It tells of light and life and love and the security that lies at the heart." —New York Times Book Review

Life is change. The things we love and want to hold on to are transient and intermittent. Nothing stays the same and live moves on. More layers are revealed. As I have gone through and will go through the different stages of life and experience different relationships, I see what lies beneath the external part - deeper connections, beauty, joy, contentment, insight, creativity.
After reading it, I have less fear of the unknown. Heading toward the unknown is where you find beauty in the lightness of touch and living in present. This book is a gift that transcends time and a multi-read for me.
I enjoyed all versions of the book - the paperback, ebook, and audible.

I did not particularly enjoy the narrator's voice. I recommend that you listen to a sample on Amazon before punching this through Audible. (I bought it, anyway, because I listen to books sometimes to give my eyes a break from reading. In my profession, I read many hours each day.)
Thoughtful words written over 50 years ago still ring true.

Nor do I expect to read/listen to all the books and audiobooks in my library, or available more and more everywhere.

The world still needs, more than ever, the book’s closing words: “Patience—Faith—Openness, is what the sea has to teach...Simplicity—Solitude—Intermittency...”
