Things That Join the Sea and the Sky: Field Notes on Living

I've discovered Mark Nepo's work through Oprah Winfrey's recommendations. I've read this book by bits, a couple of stories with my breakfast as a morning routine and I absolutely loved it. Mark Nepo's words are deep and profound. The stories are so touching and inspiring, plus it gives you tips on how to journal. I felt so inspired by this book that I had to buy another copy for my bestie. It really made me wanna read more of his books, which shall I read next ?

Truly wonderful

Great book

On the first page of the book written large in ink was £5. I was going to give it to a friend but don't feel I want to now. I also paid way over £5??

I started to journal my favorite bits from this book - and I had to quit because I was underlining and writing down everything. Mark Nepo’s writing is some of the most moving I’ve seen; he taps in, repeatedly, to a deep pulse of life that you didn’t know you also felt, or that another could see (see Matepn and The Privilege of Awe among many other entries).

Exquisite...exquisite...exquisite! Mark's book has fast become a favourite because his writing is not only a joy to read but also causes me to stop and ponder and deepen. A rare gift. Thank you!

I like this book! Interesting !

This book is beautifully written and incredibly inspiring. I recommend it as a daily meditation guide, as the short readings are perfect fodder for contemplation and reflection to start off your day.

Admittedly, I love Mark Nepo’s writings. Not one of his books has disappointed me. This book is to be savored, like a decadent dessert or a lovely glass of wine. Began reading this book in January of 2019, and I’m close to the end now. Each essay, each message has inspired or lifted my spirit. Tender, vulnerable and true, this book is a precious gift from Mark Nepo, to us, his readers. 🙏🏼
