#bookreport Finished The Editor, one of my best of 2024. A Grief Observed- #DNF maybe it‘s too removed “ observed‘ I could not feel him.Cabaret, starting the chapter on Trees. Gratefulness, just started-that‘s it for #NFNovember this week. Enjoying W.Berry, a poem or two a day, finished Thanksgiving DayMurder #seasonslcozies & Gravely C. #readyourkindle #serieslove2024 . Still reading1 library book; finished the other. Listening #audiobook.
This is either one of the best books I‘ve read on the Christian practice of contemplation—or I read it at exactly the right time. Or both. It made connections between contemplation and the fruit of the practice in ways that clicked for me. I‘ve found contemplation to be an exercise in trust & letting go. Laird‘s descriptions of the journey into silence dovetailed with that experience—it resonated deeply. I‘m so glad I read it at the time I did.
If you like Thich Nhat Hanh or Eckhart Tollé, you may enjoy this. I‘m open to all ideas concerning spirituality and/or reality awareness—though the authors may use different descriptive terms, there are always some meaningful concepts to glean from it. Rohr has many good points that focus on contemplation, transformation, grace, liminality, kinesthetic ‘knowing‘, self acceptance, moral development, and so much more…
