The meditation writing is reminiscent of Henry Nouwen’s whom she quotes frequently. She taps into the universal theme of finding peace in learning to live in solitude as our lives are insanely busy and stressful. After retiring from her stressful job and moving back to Canada, she finds her solitude in gardening, canning, photography and sitting in the presence of a loving God of her understanding. “The awe of many eyes turned upward at the evening sky and the small world I see through the macro lens of my camera are both facets of the awe of creation. They satisfy. Something but not everything because it’s the Creator, more than the creation that I long for.”
Although I’m not an adoptee, I connected with her story on so many levels—the importance of a mother’s love, the depth of loss and abandonment and the lifegiving force of sitting with a. power greater than ourselves.
This book will touch many in a healing way, especially adoptees who are searching for answers and reconciliation of their pasts. ( )
