Greetings and Namaste!
Alice O. Howell, one who has lived the incarnations of Kore, Demeter and Hecate, writes with all the wisdom, wit, tenderness, love and joy that comes from having journeyed so far in her life of 86 years. Alice has given us a new book, From the Archives of the Heart, a collection of her extraordinary poetry spanning her life. Alice is a dear friend of mine, so I won't pretend to be objective. Her background as a Jungian astrologer, author and one who is deeply contemplative while delighting in the earthy presence of the Divine everywhere, radiates through the many gems she shares in this volume of more than 200 poems. I will return again and again to the rich stores in Archives of the Heart, just as I do to Alice's other works, The Dove in the Stone and The Web in the Sea. Here are a few selections From the Archives of the Heart. The poetry is so rich and varied there's no way to give you a representative selection. You'll want to read the entire collection for yourself.
Thank you all
for your notes of appreciation for our
newsletter.
Everyone has
the heart to be a true friend of the soul, an
Anam
Cara. By embodying that ideal ourselves we
may serve to help
another to find love and compassion within
themselves.
Our highest nature is always
manifest in
relationship - to all other beings, to the
environment, in relation to our own body and
mind. Becoming mindful of the quality of our
relationships
allows us to learn where the light shines and
where it
needs to shine more. The ideal of Anam
Cara is to
continuously endeavor to expand the depth
and the
inclusiveness of the loving kindness we bring
into
every relationship, every moment, every breath.
If
you have any
suggestions, comments or sharings, for our
newsletter please don't
hesitate to e-mail me and I'll do my best to
respond.
