Gift Books

"The book exists for us, perchance, that will explain our miracles and reveal new ones. The at present unutterable things we may find somewhere uttered."~ Henry David Thoreau

Thoreau's words explain quite perfectly Ingrid's love affair with books. All the books here are written and carefully hand-assembled by the poet herself in hopes to give a direct transmission of inspiration through their testament to the everyday sacred, beautiful, often unuttered blessings of life.
