A Must Read
I just finished reading the most amazing book! It's one of those small little books you just don't want to end.
A Walk on the Beach: Tales of Wisdom from an Unconventional Woman by Joan Anderson is the non-fiction story of Joan A. meeting Joan Erickson.
Joan is 91 when this story starts. Her husband was Eric Erickson, the famous psychologist who described the stages of development. She had contributed to much of his work, and advanced the last stages after his death. She is protrayed as very playful wise woman.
Some quotes from Joan Erickson:
"We don't stop playing because we grow old. We grow old because we stop playing. Anyway, the opposite of play is obey!"
"Get out of your body, absorbing all that you come in contact with."
"Don't deny yourslef to please others. You only lose yourself in the promise."
There is much one can learn from Joan Erickson. Lots of wisdom within this book.
