The Silver Cord and the Golden Bowl

Pierce weaves together poetry, philosophy, and personal reflection in this meditative work on life and death. Through explorations of the silver cord (which connects the body and soul) and the golden bowl (which represents the beauty and fragility of life), Pierce offers a unique perspective on the human experience. This edition is beautifully illustrated with original artwork.
