We all long to experience a sense of inner wholeness and guidance, but today's notions of healing and recovery
too often keep us focused on our brokenness, on our deficiencies rather than our strengths. Wayne Muller's luminous
new book gently guides us to the place where we are already perfect, already blessed with the wisdom we need to
live a life of meaning, purpose and grace.
He starts, as do so many spiritual teachers, with simple questions: Who am I? What do I love? How shall I live,
knowing I will die? What is my gift to the family of the earth? He then takes us deeper, exploring each question
through transformative true stories. We meet men and women--Wayne's neighbors, friends, patients--who have discovered
love, courage, and kindness even in the midst of sorrow and loss. And through them we glimpse that relentless spark
of spiritual magic that burns within each of us.
Woven throughout are contemplations, daily practices, poems, and teachings from the great wisdom teachings.
Page by page, we become more awake to the joy and mystery of this precious human life, and to the unique gifts
every one of us has to offer the world.
