Review of Reflections from a Restless Mind:
Dorothy Canote’s new book Reflections from a Restless Mind is a delightful ramble down several of the many pathways she has traveled in her life. She dedicates the book to the self-reliant women in her family who taught her by example to be self-sustaining. Throughout the book we see that she became just that sort of woman.
Here you will find a potpourri of interesting observations, many captured with her brush: round barns, the morel and other mushrooms, small creeks to wade in on summer days, and the lure of the Southwestern United States and Mexico.
Dorothy tells us: I was never a wild child. A college boyfriend described me as having a wonderful irreverence for authority which I considered a great compliment. For me an adventure is a trip somewhere I have never been, but not one that involves much risk.
And as Dorothy understates: “you can learn a lot about yourself exploring caves.”
This is a captivating, charming, and engaging book about exploration of the past, of the world around us, and of the emotions inside us.
