Everyday SpiritsSUNY Press, 1 jul 1993 - 195 páginas Transformation of being begins exactly where one is. This is, for most of us, at home. We are acted upon by objects familiar to us, influenced in unfelt ways, and moved toward a destiny proper to a responsible being. Dwelling is complemented by journeying. To live in a home is to journey on the path that leads through the home to a world beyond. A householder becomes a traveler. A traveler is a seeker after new impressions, fresh impressions of a reality that beckons. Opening to the commonplace what stands in front of us on the daily round we are open to the call to respond to our role as mediator between heaven and earth. Everyday Spirits is a book about self-perception. |
