The beach --- 2. Channeled whelk --- 3. Moon shell --- 4. Double-sunrise --- 5. Oyster bed --- 6. Argonauta --- 7. A few shells --- 8. The beach at my back.  aIn this inimitable, beloved classic -- graceful, lucid and lyrical -- Anne Morrow Lindbergh shares her meditations on youth and age; love and marriage; peace, solitude and contentment as she set them down during a brief vacation by the sea. Drawing inspiration from the shells on the shore, Lindbergh�s musings on the shape of a woman�s life bring new understanding to both men and women at any stage of life. A mother of five, an acclaimed writer and a pioneering aviator, Lindbergh casts an unsentimental eye on the trappings of modernity that threaten to overwhelm us: the time-saving gadgets that complicate rather than simplify, the multiple commitments that take us from our families. And by recording her thoughts during a brief escape from everyday demands, she helps readers find a space for contemplation and creativity within their own lives. 0aLife. 7aLife.2fast08iOnline version:aLindbergh, Anne Morrow, 1906-2001.tGift from the sea.dNew York : Pantheon, 1955w(OCoLC)644368349
