Muddy Mysticism

<p><em>Muddy Mysticism</em> is a spiritual memoir a lyrical articulation of an emergent feminist mysticism and a heartfelt response to the lack of mystical literature by women who have chosen a life of family love work and the world. Like many women she found the faith of her childhood no longer fitted... yet still there is a longing for the sacred. Through poetry reflection and experience she moves into the possibility of direct experience with the divine...beyond a belief system. Exploring the possibility of daily life in the modern world not as something to be transcended or escaped...but as a mystical path in its own right.</p><p><br></p><p><em>Muddy Mysticism</em> offers consolation to those who feel the truth and bewilderment that the late German Jesuit priest Karl Rahner touched upon when he said that the only way a person would survive with an intact faith in this century is by being a mystic.</p><p><br></p><p>Natalie Bryant-Rizzieri is an award-winning poet. This is her first non-fiction title.</p>
