Little Thoughts About Life, Ourselves and the Mess in Between
By F. H. Gilbert
Length2h 11m
About this audiobook
ittle Thoughts About Life, Ourselves and the Mess in Between is a gentle, funny collection of reflections on being human. Beginning with the trouble with thinking, F. H. Gilbert asks why we believe what we believe, why two people leave the same room with two different stories, and what we are really waiting for when we say “someday”. Across nine short chapters she explores experience, identity, the things we cannot see, wisdom, the cages we learn to live in, finding our own voice, faith and the questions we cannot explain, and what it means to become a memory in other people’s lives. Written in a warm, conversational voice with a light touch of humour, the book does not offer tidy answers. It invites you to pause, question your assumptions, and live more fully while you still have the chance. Ideal for quiet moments, a cup of tea and an open mind.
