Food For The Heart And MindCollected over many years this thoughtfully curated treasury of readings reaches out across multiple cultures and traditions. Open it on almost any page and you will find something to inspire you. It is awash with masterpieces of the writers craft.This literary gem is artfully organized under twelve headings which is itself a poem of a kind and reads as follows: At First An Arousing Secondly A Gathering Third An ExplorationThe Fourth Is A Procession The Fifth A Pondering The Sixth A Sallying ForthThe Seventh Is A Peregrination The Eighth Entails A Mission The Ninth Becomes A QuestThen Proceeds A Pilgrimage Penultimately A Returning And Finally A RecurrenceEach of these lines refers to a chapter containing nine separate works of poetry or prose each occupying just a few pages. So it comprises 108 readings harvested from the works of literary giants. A few you will undoubtedly be familiar with but some will be entirely new to the reader. The book includes three previously unpublished poems by Rina Hands as well as a few other previously unpublished works. It includes poetry or prose from: Lao Tzu The Dalai Lama G Gurdjieff Rainer Maria Rilke Jalal ad-Dīn Rumi Arthur Schopenhauer Walt Whitman St Francis Avicenna Alexander Pushkin Honoré de Balzac John Milton Marcus Aurelius St Paul Fyodor Dostoyevsky William Blake Khalil Gibran Arthur Rimbaud John Bunyan Red Hawk Immanual Joseph John Keats René Daumal Li Po William Shakespeare The Bible Federico Garcia Lorca Edgar Allan Poe Tacitus Lewis Carroll Soren Kirkegaard Farid ud-Din Attar Samuel Taylor Coleridge Alfred Lord Tennyson Chuang Tzu Omar Khayyam Percy Bysshe Shelley Ivan Turgenev W B Yeats Charles Causley Emily Dickinson and many others.It is a book you will dip into again and again a book for the coffee table not the bookshelf.
