Walking Into Moments

By Sophia Tellen

Book Overview

The purpose of life, says Uncle Joseph, is "To place one foot ahead of the other!" The walk as metaphor for life. As we read this little book with its impressionistic touches, we join Uncle Joseph on his morning walks and step lightly into his extraordinary world, in which the only thing that matters is the present moment. Uncle Joseph breathes counsel in answer to the questions the young girl asks on our behalf. Turning the last page, after some days or some months, we'll want to begin the walks with Uncle Joseph once more, to become more deeply suffused with his wisdom; timeless, yet anchored in the present moment. By the end we will have understood that what is important is not the purpose, but the walk itself.
