Stepping stones

"We, each of us, will never take a breath more or less important than the one we are taking now. We will never be in a day or year more or less important than the one we are in now." In this compilation of his writings, well-known spiritual writer and guide Tolbert McCarroll does indeed encourage us to approach each step, each moment, deliberately and thoughtfully. In a world where 'living in the now' is treated as some sort of mystical, hard-to-achieve concept, Brother Toby reassures us, in a year of daily reflections, that simply being is possible. He reminds us to cherish the little things, to stop and look down, to be "violet-seekers" in all that we do. This thought-provoking volume reminds readers that it is the small, oft-ignored aspects of life that make it so beautiful. Each of Brother Toby's "Stepping Stones" is a much-needed dose of inner nourishment for his readers, gentle folk on many different personal and spiritual paths.
