I love her approach, it brought it even in to more focus when I was listening to Obama's former speech writer talk about his book and about how Obama didn't want to give a speech after the shooting in a black church in his time in office and how he only was willing to give a speech after he heard that the families forgave the shooter. It was the one that he sang Amazing Grace to. I think that example and this book go hand in hand.

There are quotes I will meditate on for a long time. Ms Kaur is a powerful writer and speaker. I'm grateful to my sister for getting me this book and for her thoughts shared via snail mail.… (més)
