upward beyond the brim

About the Book

As Ruby Agnir continues to be spiritually inspired by events in her life, she writes down every thought or paragraph with the intent of sharing it with others.

This book is a collection of those ideas, some serious, some lyrical, some wild, mostly spiritual, all utterly human. The title is self-explanatory. Like coffee poured into a cup to overflowing, the thoughts go “beyond the brim,” but rather than drop down because of gravity, they go upward unfettered, rising like a vapor and blending with the space above. They are the author’s “Thoughts outside the Box.”

These are Ruby Agnir’s beliefs, concepts, notions, and inferences. Gleaning from readings and experiences and collecting from books, from newspapers, from the silver screen, from the Internet, she has chosen those that are relevant to her way of thinking, rolled them up into a ball and stamped it with her own identifying mark.
