Product Description
From Amazon
Ironically, when we walk in the shadow of death, it is a time when we feel illuminated by life's true meaning. Poet and philosopher Mark Nepo has first-hand experience with this mystery, having been diagnosed with cancer. During his arduous recovery, he sought inspiration and guidance that would reflect his glowing appreciation of life. This daybook is exactly what Nepo longed for; it is book that can be appreciated by readers in all walks of life.
Starting with 1 January and finishing with 30 December, this collection of essays offers a poet's sensibility and sensuality. Yet it also offers well-harvested wisdom. "Water reflects everything it encounters", Nepo writes in a 5 May essay. "This is so commonplace that we think water is blue, when in fact it has no colour... But the water, the glorious water everywhere has taught me that we are more than what we reflect or love. This is the work of compassion: to embrace everything clearly without imposing who we are and without losing who we are". After each entry, Nepo offers a short list of suggestions or questions to help carry the essay into the day. There are many inspirational daybooks out there. What sets this one apart is the mature poet's voice rising from a seasoned soul. --Gail Hudson

A beautiful offering.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Book Of Awakening: Having the Life You Want by Being Present to the Life You Have (Paperback)
To be honest, this book caught my eye first because of its beautiful cover of the Lotus. I opened the book read a passageand felt deeply moved almost to tears. This is a beautifully orchestrated book. Its daily reflections, passages and quotes are soul food for our journey. This book is definitely a work of love. You can feel the intent put forth and given to the reader by the author. What a blessed contribution it is. The foreward by Wayne Mueller sums this stellar gem up perfectly. A difinite addition to your collection, if not the only book you will ever need and keep close to your heart, spirit and soul. Dear Mark Nepo, You have written a book that has moved me so, there are no words to describe it. I thank you for sharing your beautiful offering. I am so happy to have come across it just in a time when I was so ready and open to its messages. Blessings, Christine/Toronto, Ont. Canada

A Daybook with poetry, inspiration and much more!,
By Debbie Tripp (Kalamazoo, MI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Book Of Awakening: Having the Life You Want by Being Present to the Life You Have (Paperback)
Mark Nepo's day book is a wonderful way to remember the importance of enjoying the details that make life a mystery and a gift. The book includes inspirational quotes, beautiful poetry, points for mediationsand heart-warming glimpes of life. Although each day's entry is meant to be savored, I gobbled them all up and now will go back to holding them close to my life one day at a time.
