A beautiful story of a man who's life, of little note from the outside perspective, was worthy nonetheless by pure virtue of it having been lived.

I can't say definitively that I've gained from this book all it wishes to give, nor that I meticulously scrolled over its words at a rationed speed to fully perceive all it's messages...but what I read and what I understood was the beauty of a life lived modestly.

I wish to come back to this book again and again.
