Summary: A joy to read and think about
Review: When I received this book the rougher edged pages made it intriguing to handle. In a way this prepares you for the message of the book. It is the little things that form us as well.Upon reading the first section of the first chapter, a mere page or two, I knew this book was going to be a treat. It frames for you a single thought or consideration about the world around you. This I found well worth using the rest of the day to ponder. I deliberately then read only one section each day. Sadly after 39 days of having this book as my daily companion, I have finished reading it. It was shear joy, as this book illuminates your own life, your common everyday occurances and helps you see how each contributes to the whole. I plan to read this over and over again. This has given me an inside to Zen, that I would not have oridinarily had. With the bibliography in the back of the book I'm encouraged to read more. Also, as not to miss the point of the name "Sweeping changes" it gives a much more satisfying view on housework. It brings it more into an overall perspective. You are caring for the things that help support you. It is a synergistic relationship. Fantastic book
