Lovely Book!

I received this book as a gift and I must say I loved it! It combines beautiful art with meditations and sentiments on peace in Sister Wendy's inimitable style. Makes a very thoughtful gift or to cherish for yourself.

Pictures of Peace

Each of the 18 entries in this small book is a gem; a reproduction of a work of art (or a detail from a larger work), and her own comments interpreting them. She gives us many pictures of peace; landscapes, faces, abstracts, a stained glass window...and discusses in a few paragraphs what makes for peacefulness and what may look peaceful but is not. There's a lot of wisdom packed into just a few pages. I can imagine using this book for meditation and odd moments. It's the sort of thing one might read through in a sitting and then return to, bit by bit, over days.
