The Call by David Spangler Hardcover Get the hardcover, it's only a buck more. Paperback
This is a gem. It's very short and filled with heart. To what does Spirit call us? There's not much to say about this book, but if I were king of the world, I'd make it required reading for everyone. It is sweet, inspiring, and gently stirs the fires of the soul.
Parent As Mystic Mystic As Parent by David Spangler. A great book on parenting that reminds you of the largest context.
Haiku, This Other World, by Richard Wright Hardcover
Finding this book is as amazing as unearthing King Tut's Tomb. At the end of his life in 1960 Richard Wright, who wrote NATIVE SON and BLACK BOY, put this collection of poems together, but it has taken 38 years to be published. He wrote over 4000 Haiku over his last two years living as an expatriate in Paris. Being too sick to make it to a typewriter most of the time, he carried a notebook of haiku around with him constantly, and wrote. He distilled this mass to 817 haiku for this publication.
Haiku are poems that have five syllables in the first and last of the three lines and seven in the middle. They are intended to capture the essence of one moment in time. A good one connects the poet to something sacred. A great one connects the reader, too.
Wright's are sublimely simple and speak to a wonderful presence.
The spring lingers on
In the scent of a damp log
Rotting in the sun.
A sparrows feather
On a barb of rusty wire
In the sizzling heat.
These two evoke my life in rural Ohio. I know which log it is. I know which section of fence. It's the one with the tree growing through it, the one that separated the horse pasture from our house. This is the same pasture where on a clear, clear frosty May morning a palomino foal was born at the same time that Sasha was born in our house just on the other side of that fence.
The Illuminated Rumi by Jalal Al-Din Rumi, Coleman Barks (Translator), Michael Green (Illustrator) Love of the Divine, Sacred Truth, ecstasy, inspiringly illuminated. Go to my review.
Strong Women Stay Young by Miriam E. Nelson Ph.D., Hardcover Paperback My daughter accuses me of getting psyched about things. This book is what's got me psyched now. These folks made a major discovery: weight training heals lots of what ails post-menopausal women. It made them 15-20 years younger. It stops bone loss, and even turns it around a little. Strength goes up, they are happier, more confident, energetic, have better balance, and more flexibility. It also makes it easier to do aerobic exercise. Eight easy exercises twice per week What man doesn't want these benefits for the women he loves; what therapist for the women he works with? What's not to love. Oh, and the principles work for men and young people too. Go to article by William
