I am often influenced by the cover of a book. This was so with this lovely publication: the calm stretch of water, the single rowing boat beached on the shoreline, oars at the ready. It evinces a deep calmness and conveys a feeling of continuity and peace. It seems that this was the intention of the compiler, and is just what we need in these times of uncertainty.
