Mystical Mundane

It is an hour until noon. We are at the park. The wind is blowing, the skies are grey. The Canadian geese are calling out as they fly overhead. A few aged sunscorched leaves are fluttering down and sporadic raindrops find us in the breeze. The pans of the scale are shifting again with the heat of summer now beginning to balance out the chill of the dark season ahead. Autumn blessings.

<random post> I was thinking about some of my favourite inspirational books and quotes. The first book that changed my life (other than embarking on the Darktower Series of course) was The Road Less Travelled. Scott Peck. About the same time was Celestine Prophecy. James Redfield. I admit I have not made it through the Tenth Insight. I will one day. Time passed and then it was A New Earth. From there, something in me was awoken and in a round-a-bout way it led me to the writings found at Nag Hammadi. I spent about a year diving into Gnostic texts, as well as those considered 'Gnostic related' - in fact I am still browsing about and pouring over those periodically. Finding The Gospel of Thomas warmed my heart to no end. Cynthia Bourgeault's Wisdom Way of Knowing was very lovely, and one of my favourites, closely followed or tied with Living Buddah, Living Christ by Thich Nhat Hanh. I also LOVED Mitch Albom's Have a Little Faith. The MOST inspiration...
