WOW I loved this so much. Sweet, curious and gentle story looking at personhood, vocation and meaning. It's rare that so plan to reread something soon after a first read (to be read list is sooo long!) but I'm returning my library copy of this and buying a print copy so I can revisit this soon, and recommending it widely. A kind, Zen Buddhist - flavored exploration.
