Where does wisdom come from? Or maybe not wisdom exactly—that seems too lofty for the deeply grounded living, searching, doubting, and knowing that Meg Barnhouse shares here.

Where, then, does a deep drive to live come from?

It comes, as Meg shows us, from the seeds of our experience, seeds that are part of a cycle so much larger than ourselves. Meg offers us the stories of her life—the everyday and the extraordinary, the painful and the hilarious—and they are so delightful and so telling that this would be enough. But she gives us more than that: She also leads us to recognize that we too can find these seeds of life, of spirit, and of meaning; they are, in fact, already in our hands.
