I absolutely love that you have included yourself in that list, Julia, such a kind and generous gesture. It gives permission to others to coronate themselves too (using Aimee’s language). Thank you for your bold and gentle example. Also Rumi, Rainer Maria Rilke, Pablo Neruda.
Great list of books/authors. I would add Fran Dorff's Simply Soul Stirring to your writing list.
I’ll never have to make a favorites list because it’s pretty much the same as this one! 😊
Be sure to add poet and writer Wendell Berry to your list.
Jan Richardson is one of my favorite spiritual poets.
Yes, thank you, Donna. She is wonderful. xo
🙏❤️Deeply honoured Julia Xx
@Beth Kempton ♥️🙏♥️
I’d like to recommend
An Old Man’s Memories- expressed in poem and story by
Andrew Hegarty
Thank you so much for this recommendation, @Philip Quigley .
Divine tribute
Philip Quigley
Salt and light.
Are mine
I am the salt
Of this earth
But, if
Salt has lost
It’s taste.
How shall its
Saltines be restored?
It is no longer good for anything.
Except to be thrown out
And trampled
Under peoples
Waste
I am the light
Of this world,
A light set on a hill.
Cannot be hidden
Nor do people
Light a lamp.
And put it
Under a basket
But on a stand
And it gives light
To all
Who ask it?
In my own way
Let my light shine.
Before others
So that they may see
My goodness
And give glory
To the one
Who created
The Divine
