Mari Messer is a sea lover, who takes annual seaside retreats to collect shells, watch people and animals, and fill notebooks with images, musings, and reflections. The result of her sojourns is a book in the tradition of Anne Morrow Lindbergh's Gift from the Sea. Shore Lines presents the sea as a guide to life, helping readers become more focused and grounded as they view their lives through Messer's lyrical lens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith \u003ci\u003eShore Lines\u003c\/i\u003e, Messer inspires readers to \"explore your own inner sea-space. To some, taking time for reflection may seem like selfish indulgence... But perhaps now more than ever, we need such a respite, a chance to restore balance and clarity... We need to go apart when there's danger we may come apart. If you can't get to the sea, I urge you to sit beside a fountain in a park, or seek out a river, a lake, even a puddle for your reflection. Or simply come along on an imaginal sojourn beside the sea as you read these pages.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDip into Shore Lines to discover:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e* The power of the night stars appearing at twilight over the sea.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e* The meaning of a bouquet of gull feathers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e* How to learn from sea cows and have \"friendship for no advantage.\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e* The retreating tide has a pallet that \"accepts our old work and leaves a smooth new beach to entice us to begin again.\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eShore Lines\u003c\/i\u003e is a vacation retreat by the sea that anyone can take any time of the year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Red Wheel\/Weiser","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47183078260976,"sku":"9781609257002","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781609257002_p0.jpg?v=1763837035","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781609257002","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
