THE SHARED WISDOM of MOTHERS and DAUGHTERS is the latest of more than two dozen books written by "life" philosopher Alexandra Stoddard. I've been reading Ms. Stoddard for over twenty years now and am always eager to get a glimpse into the quiet, purpose-directed world she has created for herself. Her strong focus on eternal values--the preciousness of time, the importance of personal connection, the beauty that surrounds us even in the toughest times--never fails to give me a boost. Whenever I feel my life spinning out of control, I find myself returning to these books and their central theme--BREATHE! Unlike some of the author's fans, I am not crazy about her short-form essays. I'm greedy. I want more. This book in particular, being so brief, left me a little hungry. Yet, what there is of it is beautiful. Like a bite-sized piece of dark chocolate. Or a single rose.

"When we are mindful of our present experience, we are valuing our time in a soulful way. Those with whom we elect to share out time will also benefit from our sensitive awareness. We have to train our minds to become completely absorbed in the reality of whatever is going on at the moment. This discipline automatically opens us up to a deeper, more profound intelligence and understanding that enables us to tap into our innate intuitive powers. And, in this awareness, we experience timelessness, a flow state of inner peace and intense enjoyment, with full awareness of being alive in the present." (149).
