Description

The soft sand and cool waters of the sea provide the inspiration for Beach Walks and Beach Walks II. George Thatcher, retired banker and Sun Herald (Biloxi) columnist, discerns the moving, spiritual power of the beach and its marvels in his daily walks on the shore. Beach Walks, Thatcher's first compilation of his daily journal, was published in November 1998, and sold out of its first printing in two months. Now, Beach Walks II continues the tradition with more contemplative accounts inspired by tides and season, wildlife, winds, and waters. In brief one-page entries, Thatcher shares moments of calm reflection meant to still the waters of a busy world, if only for an instant. Throughout the seasons, his sensitive eye and acute consciousness enable us all to experience the everyday miracles of the sea and the shoreline, and the peace and pleasure they bring time and time again.
