In the hurly-burly of daily life, all too often, the Self happens to get lost. However, with its overall knowledge of our needs and strengths, it would by far be the best personal advisor we can have. This collection of short stories and poems invites a journey of discovery. Diverse but amicable characters are experiencing the joy of rediscovering their Self in manifold situations of everyday life. A pocketbook for small breaks in-between: to explore, reflect, dream, chuckle, and relax.
Review:Pearls of Daily Life - Short Stories and Poems on Self-discovery, Antonia Löschner
If you think I've been bitten by the short story bug you are correct. I seem to be picking up a lot of short stories, poetry, and children's books lately.
When I'm not reading, I like to people-watch. Many things I find amusing and some a little frightening. One thing I continue to notice is that it appears that people are always rushing. Things have only slightly slowed down, for some, with the pandemic looming over us. And in many cases, for essential workers, the pace has significantly picked up.
I often go to the natural world to relax. This weekend, I went to the garden to look at my plants that are just beginning to poke up through the soil and view the songbirds as they looked for items to build a nest. Watching incidents such as these helps relax the mind.
With that said, I wanted to point out Antonia Löschner, Pearls of Daily Life - Short Stories and Poems on Self-discovery. The stories are relevant and uplifting. Whether riding on a train or strolling through the garden it's a reminder you can frequently discover yourself.
