Something Beautiful

Daybook (Truitt)

Sculptor Anne Truitt's first book was titled Daybook. It's a book of her journal entries, full of comments on her work, her family, her life. One ends up quietly admiring a quiet woman who seems to live her life with a natural integrity. Truitt published two subsequent books of the same kind. Neither is quite as good as "Daybook" but both are worthwhile.

The importance of the beautiful

I just heard part of an interview on NPR about a book that sounds very promising.  The book is Beauty: The Invisible Embrace, by John O'Donohue.   Here's the NPR website's brief mention of the piece.
