runs through our entire nation, just below the surface, everywhere

family, with nature. My hope is that everyone who opens this book
will immediately find some passage, some way into a secret garden
of slow time, where things of great beauty and truth grow, and
blossom, in effortless abundance. It is a glorious refuge -- a
timely, welcome escape from the pervasive trance of ordinary,
relentlessly productive time -- Wayne Muller, bestselling
author of 'Sabbath' and 'A Life of Being, Having, and Doing
Enough'
