A beautiful book

This is a great book, sadly hard to find, and a lovely fable, gracefully told. If you can find a copy, buy it, and read it when you need perspective. I can't say the writing is particularly luminous, but it is about what is true, and who we want to be, and who we become. Its one of the few books I keep extras of to give away.
