Title: Gift from the Sea Pdf 50th-Anniversary Edition

I found a 1955 printing of this book in an old waterfront cabin and was struck by the care with which the previous owner had read it. Eve (the name inscribed inside the front cover and then again above the heading for chapter 3) made pencil marks on nearly every paragraph of the book, underlining a phrase, highlighting many passages with strong vertical marks, scratching out some words that she seems to have found superfluous and even x-ing out whole sections that apparently missed their mark with her altogether. Two rusting paper clips isolate several pages, absent any marking at all. Anne Morrow Lindbergh's lyrical words are still relevant and presage so many of the themes of today's most popular books: simplicity, peaceful solitude, caring for the soul, a woman finding her place in society and life. I heard that the woman who had lived in the cabin had actually passed away some time before. Thank you, Eve, for your gift... from the sea. "Gift from the Sea is like a shell itself in its small and perfect form . . . It tells of light and life and love and the security that lies at the heart."--New York Times Book Review
Drawing inspiration from the the shells on the shore, Lindbergh's musings on the shape of a woman's life will bring new understanding to readers, male and family, at any stage of life. A mother of five and professional writer, she casts an unsentimental eye at the trappings of modern life that threaten to overwhelm us -- the timesaving gadgets that complicate our lives, the overcommitments that take us from our families -- and by recording her own thoughts in a brief escape from her everyday demands, she guides her readers to find a space for contemplation and creativity in their own lives. With great wisdom and insight she describes the shifting shapes of relationships and marriage, presenting a vision of a life lived in enduring and evolving partnership. A groundbreaking work when it was first published, this book has retained its freshness as it has been rediscovered by generations of readers and is no less current today.
An EXCELLENT READ for ALL AGES--A WONDERFUL GIFT! This is a FANTASTIC BOOK for ALL women of any age, but especially mothers and wives!! This book allows today's women to understand we are NOT alone and can actually relate to a long line of fellow mothers and wives (women of the 50's to the present), who have also struggled to maintain an open channel of spiritual and emotional guidance, while managing their personal relationships, home life, and careers!! The author is a breath of fresh air and a wonderful artist, as she paints an outlet through the visual gifts from the sea, that help to remind us to take time for ourselves and to remember how important WE are to the BIG picture! An EXCELLENT READ for ALL AGES!! A wonderful gift for a beautiful woman, a devoted mother, a daughter getting ready to cross over into the REAL world, or someone who is simply trying to find their way in this crazy, hectic world!!!A timeless book of observations Wow. This book was given to me as a gift from my aunt, who received her first copy 25 years earlier, with the 25th Anniversary Edition. What a blessing! The author word's are as relevant to women today, as they were 50 years ago. After finishing the book, I immediately purchased two more to give as gifts.Beautifully written and rhythmic without being poetic Cute book. Not what I was expecting and not something I'd have normally picked up to read.That being said ... something that I may read over and over again. Beautifully written and rhythmic without being poetic.Interesting how so much of it still resonates today ... 60 years later. And how much of it needs to be taught and reminded to girls and women of all ages. A book that transcends time."each cycle of the tide is valid, each cycle of the wave is valid, each cycle of a relationship is valid""She must learn not to depend on another, not to feel she must prove her strength by competing with another ... She must find the true center alone. She just become whole."
