I agree with the comment which stated they kept "trying to get into O'Donohue," especially as Krista Tippett loves him. I deeply appreciate the NPR programs of Krista T. O'Donohue? Afraid I take a pass. I tried his other work, "Eternal Echoes: Exploring Our Yearning to Belong," and set it down. I plan to read Meister Eckhard per O'Donahue's chapter. Too much of O'Donohue's work were homilies, aphorisms -- which you would expect from an audio put into print. I've read Simone Weil's bio, along with Zaretsky's recent book on her ideas. Her mysticism and principle kept me reading. Not so O'Donohue. I'm afraid his words and his books will not stand over time. This is disappointing because I found Krista T's recent re-broadcast of her 2008 interview with him inspiring. Crossing the threshold, the dead language we use to discuss God, how God is Beauty, the closer we get to the infinite, the more words and names dissolve into the cosmic silence of awe and beauty. Above riveted me to the broadcast, set me taking notes. Thus my disappointment with O'Donohue's book. I appreciate the many positive comments; I wish I could join them.

From the mountains of Connemara to friendly pub conversations, John O'Donohue had the ability to make the most numinous questions personal. Walking in Wonder: Eternal Wisdom for the Modern World shows that even though this beloved poet and philosopher is no longer among us, his words still breathe with vibrant life. Including a foreword written by Krista Tippett and narration by John's brother Pat O'Donohue, this unabridged audiobook presents a collection of new teachings. Based on conversations over years with Irish broadcaster John Quinn, these selections include thoughts on the gifts of aging, our fascinating relationship with memory, and why we need not fear death. Why the insights of mystics like Meister Eckhart are more relevant than ever in a world prioritizing image over substance. Contemplation of nature, its landscapes, and our intertwined relationship with both. A reading of one of the special dawn Easter masses given by John at Corcomroe Abbey in his beloved Co. Clare, Ireland. Poems and blessings in celebration of the ache of absence, imagination, and the turning of the seasons. Life's hidden narratives-whether in the history of mountains or your inner world. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
