Jane Pauley leads a discussion with author Roger Rosenblatt and artist Fred Newman stemming from Roger’s new book, A Steinway on the Beach: Wounds and Other Blessings. Roger’s book contends that wounds – physical, professional, emotional. psychic – are not just accidents of life; they are essential to living fully and well. The Persian poet Rumi said, “The wound is the place where the light enters you.” The light, meaning inspiration, revelation, and spiritual calm.
With Fred Newman’s ethereal paintings accompanying the text, A Steinway on the Beach shows us our lives in all their glory and fragility. How do we live with our wounds? Warily. Bravely. Beautifully.
