{"product_id":"walking-toward-morning-meditations","title":"Walking Toward Morning: Meditations","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn a cemetery once  an old one in New England  I found a strangely soothing epitaph. The name of the deceased and her dates had been scoured away by wind and rain  but there was a carving of a tree with roots and branches (a classic nineteenth-century motif) and among them the words  \"She attended well and faithfully to a few worthy things.\" At first this seemed to me a little meager  a little stingy on the part of her survivors  but I wrote it down and have thought about it since  and now I cant imagine a more proud or satisfying legacy. Every day I stand in danger of being struck by lightning and having the obituary in the local paper say  for all the world to see  \"She attended frantically and ineffectually to a great many unimportant  meaningless details.\"  How do you want your obituary to read?  --from \"Set in Stone\"  Walking Toward Morning affirms my sense of being present to life. Victoria Safford writes with great joy and attentiveness. These meditations are simply wonderful. I will return to them again and again. --Rev. Keith Kron  Victoria Safford is currently serving as minister of White Bear Unitarian Universalist Church in Saint Paul  Minnesota. She holds a degree from Yale Divinity School.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44968153153589,"sku":"ByrdShop_1558964541","price":104.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781558964549_f0780752-cce9-438b-9f2c-1d2a6dac3ff5.jpg?v=1772695875","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/walking-toward-morning-meditations","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
