Poems by Chris Hoffman

Beschreibung

Also by Chris Hoffman On the Way (poetry) Chris Hoffman voices an essential message for our time and he does so in a profound and beautiful way. I live in a demanding noisy world but suddenly found myself stopping and closing my eyes and going beyond the words to the truth that lies behind them. There are not many authors who silence me so that I make the time to dive below the surface of my life to see what mystery lies in the depths. Relish this sumptuous meal but eat slowly dear friend for it is full of the finest ingredients. - John Brierley author of the Camino Guides: Practical and Mystical Manuals for the Modern Day Pilgrim REALIZATION POINT (poetry) A rich volume of poetry about life's flourishing. - Roshi Joan Halifax I especially enjoy the tone of the poems in Chris Hoffman's book, the union of his voice with the details and individual lives of his surroundings." - Pattiann Rogers Cairns (poetry) Every page of Cairns conveys the sacral, as revealed by the indwelling spirit of deserts, glacial fjords, kittiwakes, bald eagles, bears, and pine forests. - Reg Saner, poet and essayist, winner of the Colorado Book Award I take this book on the road with me, read the poems around sunrise and sunset, and feel both comforted and refreshed as I wander into wild places. - Stephen R. Jones, author of The Last Prairie and The Peterson Field Guide to the North American Prairie THE HOOP AND THE TREE (psychology/spirituality/native wisdom) Integrating modern psychology and the world's wisdom traditions, The Hoop and the Tree describes the deep structure of psychological and spiritual wholeness and shows how understanding and embodying that structure can help us lead lives of balance and fulfillment. "This 20th anniversary expanded edition is even more beautiful and enlightening than the original." - Anita Sanchez PhD, author of The Four Sacred Gifts
