I started reading this book in February as part of a Lenten study and continued to read all of the meditations that Thurman wrote in this collection. It covers numerous topics such as: dreams, judgment, courage, pain of life, humor, enthusiasm, self sacrifice, goodness, and much more. My favorite meditation was titled "The Threads In My Hand". Not every meditation resonated with me. I also did not know this collection was Part 2 following Deep Is the Hunger.
