Product Description

The beach has the power to restore us to ourselves. A day spent watching the waves or a long walk along the water's edge can bring us back to our center and remind us of the wisdom that resides within us all the time. At the ocean, it is possible to forget your daily worries and reconnect with your true self. A beautifully designed keepsake book, Beach Wisdom: Life Lessons from the Ocean offers spirited and contemplative philosophies about joy, trust, abundance, and common sense, accompanied by gorgeous full-color photographs. o Go in the water, even if it's cold. o When you catch a wave, ride it. o Just when you think it's getting too deep, you'll find a sandbar. o Sometimes the best thing is to jump right in. o To find the best shells, you have to walk slowly.Throughout Beach Wisdom, exhilarating photos and inspiring text artfully merge to capture the power and relevance of the ocean in our lives. Its pages bring a sense of peace and awareness to everyone who reads it.

About the Author
Elizabeth Cogswell Baskin is a writer who lives in Atlanta but dreams of working from the screened porch of some old beach house on an island somewhere. Keith Bennett is an Atlanta art director, artist, musician, and writer who likes beach trips very much, as long as he can still get the New York Times every morning. Terry Allen is a photographer based in Athens, Ga., who would rather be at the beach than anywhere else on earth.

A world of inspiration
It's the kind of book that I reach for when I am having 'one of those days'. It's small, simple and yet so rich in what it has to offer. The words of wisdom accompanied by the wonderfully calming photos of beach scenes relax my mind and give me cause to stop and reflect on what really matters in this world. We all need more times like this. If you can't get away to the beach, you can at least pick up this book and transport your mind and soul there.

This is a wonderful gift book full of wisdom and humor. I actually read it while at the beach and it was fabulous. Great inspiration and insight. The writing is superb, the photography beautiful and the layout is wonderful. Would make a great gift or a pocket full of inspiration!!

A Beautiful Book
This wonderful book is a treat for the eyes and the mind. The secret to life is revealed within the lovely pages. I will be giving this book as a hostess gift at every barbecue and clam bake this summer! I have been re-reading it daily and each time I feel the peace of mind and inspiration that comes from a sunrise or a dip in the surf!
