Descriere
This book proposes a series of ten "lessons" on many of the important ethical questions in human life, based on a wide-ranging series of poems in English. These poems are treated as testimonies to the poets' experience and understanding of such topics as forgiveness, centering, self-reliance, and one's ultimate parting from life.
