I adore Pico's non fiction books and oddly even more so, interviews with him. He IS calming, you said it well.

Marlena - thank you for sharing these thoughts and quotes. Reminding me to be silent and take off the lens cap on life was what I needed today!

I can't wait to read the Pico Iyer book...and I love the idea of putting small printed poems on cards to carry around...will be trying that for my next manuscript draft!
