Description

How to Live at the Beach -- the companion book to How to Live on an Island -- is at home anywhere on any coast, or far from it. For the beach is only a metaphor, and with every reading the metaphor awakens us: How we might live our lives, how we might pace ourselves, how we can appreciate, how we can love.With delightful illustrations and heartfelt prose, How to Live at the Beach strips away the complicated, structured way of life we cling to and helps us find perspective in simplicity. Author Sandy Gingras gently reminds us to appreciate our world, and leads us to our memories when we walked, played, or lazed on the sandy shore, when all we needed to construct our days were seashells, a blanket, and some sunshine.
