Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This is the introductory volume in an inspiring series of books about green spirituality, a type of spirituality that fits into no particular category of religion or spiritual belief system and yet is fully compatible with - and draws millions of adherents from - almost all of them.Green spirituality is based on a love of the Earth, the intrinsic value of all life forms, and a deep respect for the integrity of ecosystems and for the importance of biodiversity. It includes a belief in the total interconnectedness of the cosmos and offers a sense of identity rooted in being part of - and interdependent with - 'all that is'. It regards Nature as a great teacher and as a revelation of the divine and holds ideals of peace, social justice, ecological justice, low-impact living and sustainability.The book describes and illustrates, through the well-blended voices of thirteen writers, the basic concepts and expressions of this rapidly growing kind of spiritual attitude in today's world - what it is, where it comes from, who practises it and how and why. It covers a wide range of subject matter, from personal stories of spiritual awakening to scientific facts about the composition of soil and includes philosophical musings, practical suggestions, inspirational essays and poetry.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Beyond simply living green there is an even more radical way to live. And that is to understand, with your entire mind and body and soul, that you are not simply 'on' the planet, you are an intrinsic part of the planet.

Deep green living is not only to know and understand that but to live your entire life out of that humble knowing. It is the path of sustainability, spirituality, a sense of permanent and eternal belonging and of deep, abiding joy.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - In A Bracelet of Honeybees, Lynn Strongin conveys braided stories of aging, pain, and sexuality through her signature genius with language. In these poems, we find Strongin, an older lesbian poet, surviving with the disabling remnants of a childhood bout with polio.

Strongin writes despairing lines such as 'all nights are hospital nights' and 'In my childhood all cities were London bombed by the Germans' alongside praiseful stanzas such as 'Unseen fire/ Reflected in your round face/ my ample, deep desire.'
