Love's Caravan

Everyone has an imagination but how many of us can say we use it to its full potential? Not only Ibn Arabi the greatest Shaykh of Sufism but poets and mystics in every age have developed their imagination to the point where they can apprehend a silence that speaks in symbol and a dynamic stillness that can transform the world. <br>This journey starts from where we are as novice meditators in a bustling distracted world and guides us into the mystical imagination with twelve short discussions each illustrated by accessible memorable poems. With creative challenges in each chapter you can chart your own exploration by writing a poem painting a picture or making a piece of music using the suggestions as a starting point. <br>Stops along the route of this armchair pilgrimage include dreams alchemists Sufi stories bardo states angels synchronicities prophecies a mermaid and a well-known crucifixion. This book is for seekers yogis and believers of all traditions and at all stages as well as those who simply want to better connect with their creative imagination.
