This is a book best read in one sitting. Let the reader swallow it whole and find it taking immediate effect. Let the reader feel like the book is a boat riding the rapids on a river. What is an obscure blessing? The question may be unanswerable, yet this book offers thirty-six possibilities worth pursuing. Blessings for crossing a river and blessings for flying into the air. Blessings for lost things and blessings for ships offshore. Blessings for journeys and blessings for unread dreams. Blessings for comets and forests and blessings for the high patches of snow. Blessings for the need for blessings.
