I have made a major update to Love’s Longing, one of my earlier books, first published in 2016. It has been carefully re-edited and given a fresh presentation, with beautiful new images throughout and a cleaner, easier-to-read format.
Love’s Longing is special in that it holds many stories from my own life—from childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood, as well as from family life and the years that followed.
Most of the stories are not particularly dramatic. They are the sorts of things that make up all our lives: something funny a child did, something unexpectedly wise someone said, a fear that had to be faced, a change of direction no one saw coming, a relationship that taught something, or a difficult experience that eventually revealed a different way forward.
The stories create an energy field through which the larger spiritual ideas can be felt rather than just known in the mind. We all have these stories. The details may differ, but beneath them lie profound archetypal human experiences that lead to even more profound spiritual experiences.
