 INTROSPECTIVE NOVEL WITH AMAZING IMAGERY! May 11, 2000
By Monica Catherine
"monica-081"
Beachcombing at Miromar is a wonderful insight into Richard Bode's quest for inner peace and beauty. It is full of fascinating imagery that literally leaves the sensory minded person speechless in its descriptions! Richard Bode's writing melts into a scenery of tranqulity with fascinating images and phrases! Included along the way are a few of Richard Bode's favorite encouraging poems, books, and songs. I bought this book on a whim, looking for something intriguing to read...I was not disappointed! Richard Bode more than surpassed my expectations with this novel. I would recommend this book mainly for those who appreciate tranqulity and crave beauty...and for those who have known what it is like to feel lost admist life's travels, wishing only for a solace from the world. Beachcombing at Miramar makes a wonderful solace.

It improved my life! Nov 26, 1999
By Andrew Clive Laarz
I first bought this book in a bookstore by accident, and I ended up reading it. Ever since, I have given away at least a dozen copies of it to other people, and they have also given away many more copies to my knowledge. At that multiplication rate, if you don't buy it - you should recieve it soon anyways. It is such a relaxing read. It shows you the pace at which life should be lived. I do encourage you to read it.

Compares Favorable With Lindbergh�s Gift From The Sea Feb 11, 2001
By Peter Fennessy
These are the reflections of man who has dropped out of the fast lane and is spending his days in a gentle, reflective life, combing the beach for its treasure, but much more searching his life, his thought, and his experience for the meaning of life, love and ultimate concerns. Bode is thoughtful and perceptive in his observations, simple but beautiful in his writing, candid and generous in his sharing of himself with the reader. The book's setting and content invites a comparison with Anne Morrow Lindbergh's classic Gift from the Sea, and it compares very favorably. Read it, you'll enjoy it.

My accidental discovery of an authentic life. Aug 04, 2001
I 'accidentally' found this book while on vacation in Seattle , WA a few years ago. I was on my way to the Oregon coast and the title caught my eye. I wasn't really sure what I was looking for, but when I picked this up, I knew that I had found it. The first chapter, "The Child Sees" completely changed me. It totally opened my eyes and started me on what is a still ongoing journey of self discovery and transformation. The metephors used by the author are so relatable for me because I love the ocean and wish is to someday do what Mr. Bode did. Simplify my life and find my own place on the 'beach of Mirimar'. This book is a very enjoyable read, and the lessons become so clear that I have been anxiously awaiting his next effort. Find this book as I did and it may help you start finding your way to an authentic life as it did for me.

Delightful Feb 24, 2001
By A. Kulcsar
"akulcsar"
Richard Bode yet again gives the reader a unique outlook on life and its events with this book. I really enjoyed "First You Have to Row a Little Boat," and this book comes very close to capturing that same magic. If you don't have either, get both - I've read both books several times over, and I will continue to do so. I get something new and refreshing from them with each reading.
