"A river has a certainty of purpose, its own particular rhythm, a cyclical aura and more present-time sensibility than a Zen master," he writes about rivers. "June isn't the only month with perfect days, but it is apt to have more perfect days each year than any other month," he writes about June. "And it is the deep green of the landscape that makes June days seem perfect." About time, he writes: "Bob Dylan titled one of his albums Time Out Of Mind. Even when we're having the time of our lives, it's hard to put time out of mind, though. Even in this digital age we subconsciously hear the constant ticking of a clock as surely as we feel our hearts beating within us." Each page contains memorable lines and phrases that articulate ideas, observations and impressions in a succinct, poetic style. The essays present a reflective, affecting, and sometimes whimsical perspective on some of the deepest and most significant subjects of human existence, all with an engaging felicity of expression.
