Описание: A Reader for Navigating the Depths of Our Lives

The Universe holds us and tosses us about, only to hold us again. With Things That Join the Sea and the Sky, Mark Nepo brings us a compelling treasury of short prose reflections to turn to when struggling to keep our heads above water, and to breathe into all of our sorrows and joys.

Inspired by his own journal writing across 15 years, this book shares with us some of Mark's most personal work. Many passages arise from accounts of his own life events--moments of "sinking and being lifted"--and the insights they yielded. Through these passages, we're encouraged to navigate our own currents of sea and sky, and to discover something fundamental yet elusive: How, simply, to be here.
To be enjoyed in many ways--individually, by topic, or as an unfolding sequence--Things That Join the Sea and the Sky presents 145 contemplations gathered into 17 themes, each intended to illuminate specific situations.

The themes include: Unraveling Our Fear, Beyond What Goes Wrong, The Gift of Deepening, The Practice of Relationship, What Holds Us Up, Right-Sizing Our Pain, The Reach of Kindness, Burning Off What's Unnecessary, How We Make Our Way and many more.

For those interested in either beginning or expanding their own journaling explorations, this reader also provides a guide to the practice of daily writing, with 100 compelling questions to get us started. "Joy is the sea that holds all," writes Mark, "the Unity of Being where feelings don't separate, but surface like waves to remind us we are alive."
Here, he helps us swim in those waters until we are held in the mystery of their buoyancy.

Описание: "I would follow this man anywhere his words want to take us," writes Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love, in praise of Mark Nepo and The One Life We're Given. "His voice helps us find pathways where we might have believed that no pathway could possibly exist."
"Mark Nepo is a national treasure," says Rev. Ed Bacon, author of Eight Habits of Love. Now, Nepo--popular spiritual teacher and #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Awakening--crafts a new road map for the soul's journey. It is "a powerful guide to being in the world without being overwhelmed by it. Profound and poignant stories and insights help us survive what life brings us, and to thrive," says Arianna Huffington. The One Life We're Given "shares how to shape the life of the soul, and make sense of pain, fear, and loss, as well as surprise, beauty, and wonder" (Library Journal).
Exploring the craft of awakening, The One Life We're Given affirms our purpose: we are here not just to stay alive but to stay in our aliveness. "The wisdom presented in the shining pages of this holy book is another luminous gift from a gallant, grateful, and imaginative spiritual master" (Spirituality & Practice).
