Synopsis:
Welcome to The Dance, the wise and practical book that expands on Oriah Mountain Dreamer′s new moving prose poem. In this compelling book, the acclaimed author of The Invitation challenges readers to live with passion, energy and honesty. The key, says Oriah, is to savour the everyday world of family, friends, love and work with clear minds and open hearts. When we are physically and emotionally stressed and our spirits are depleted, we must realise that happiness has not vanished but is buried beneath the clutter of our harried lives. With rare courage and honesty, Oriah unveils the challenge of her inspiring poem through compelling stories from her own experience, offering us tools to become fully the person we already are--not ways to change. To dance--to live in a way that is consistent with our longing--is to discover a gift that we can give ourselves again and again over a lifetime. To dance, alone or with others, is to be who we truly are as we fulfill our soul′s desires. To do this, we must learn how to let go and slow down, returning to the sacred emptiness where we encounter our true self. Practical, inspiring and profoundly illuminating, The Dance is an invitation to discover a place of connection, serenity and joy that is uniquely our own.
