Yearning for the Wind: Celtic Reflections on Nature and the Soul

Description

Emminent Celtic-American writer Tom Cowan’s latest book weaves together
chapters about the interplay of soul and nature, and describes how this
interplay creates mystical pathways between the human and nonhuman worlds.
Throughout the ages, shamans and mystics have recognized that all created
things share some level of consciousness, and that ordinary and non-ordinary
realities interact on some level. This wonderful book explores those
interactions and those interconnected pathways. It is a book that conveys the
interdependence of our “material” life with the life of nature and with our
inner life. Each beautifully crafted chapter is a small window into the
mysteries of nature and soul, a meditation on Spirit infusing our daily lives.
By looking closely at some object or creature in the natural world, Cowan
seems to open our eyes inward, to the truths that wait within. The book is
both an intimate portrait of one shaman, the author, talking to nature and a
masterful teaching on the universal qualities of our lives and the way we live
in our world, spiritually and physically. Cowan draws on the teachings of
medieval mystics, legends of fairies, Celtic songs, present-day poets and
seekers, and Native American stories. Read more Read less
