Approximation and appropriaton
Look at your feet as the author mentor says. There is a painting of such an impression in the book. And now I understand the treasure that lies at our feet.
There are many techniques in the book to create wonderful paintings. The author says that painting is for when you are at loss of words. But once you do the paintings, you will find yourself itching to express in words too.
There are works by many artists in the book. That brings a variety of perspectives.

Pinning the flag of a poem in time
Thy Living hand
Today a friend recalled the Hindi movie Bhaag Milkha Bhaag as Run, Milkha Run which is a true translation. This triggered another snippet from another friend about someone saying why do you burn my blood which in literal Hindi is indicative of seething with anger.
This poem Thy Living hand reminded me of that with its blood flow. The power of this poem is from its use of time dimension. The holding out of the hand eternally.

The desired fruit
..Create the tree from which such a fruit would fall - Paul Valery
In Zoe's first spring book of Sesame Street,
The leaves fall
from the tree and gather
below uniquely
from the cloud of leaves
with no form to themselves
Will the leaf go back to
the oblivion where the
fruit is desired.

A frozen time in crystal cube
I havent read the author's fiction, but the non-fiction does show her as a child feeling her independent self in her 40s. The author recreates all the places she's lived in and the places that left an effect on her. You can imagine the 3 week vacation on an island with the breezeway. It must have something to do with her fiction skills.
In a very Anna Quindlen `Lots of Candles, plenty of cake', Christensen's memoir is written from that place of warmth physically and emotionally, where one is content with life thus far.
