The poems in this book reflect themes that involve the processes of bending with the wind, of living in the flow of things, of human connection and resilience, of being and becoming in the earthiness of things as they are, without avoidance. It is also about meaning and living with grace given, about the sources of this within spirituality as a present-centered experience of self-transcendence, but without glossiness or presumption.

Produktbeschreibung
The poems in this book reflect themes that involve the processes of bending with the wind, of living in the flow of things, of human connection and resilience, of being and becoming in the earthiness of things as they are, without avoidance. It is also about meaning and living with grace given, about the sources of this within spirituality as a present-centered experience of self-transcendence, but without glossiness or presumption. Spirituality involves pain and desolation, as well as insight, integration, strengthening and comfort. It emerges in the rawness of things like loss, grief, failure, fragility and the felt exile from, as well as presence of, inner divine nurturance. Some poems also express joy and pleasure, connection to nature, to seasonal changes in the high country of New England, and a sense of the ironic and satirical. Some explore the deeply personal, some the relational and communal, some the collective and historical. Still others reflect on the nature of life and change. In one or two an ecological mysticism is expressed, in keeping with an holistic spirituality; conceptual ways of knowing are inadequate for describing the interconnected fullness of lived experience.

Autorenporträt
Rob Hadfield has lived in Armidale since 1974. This city, set in the high country of the northern tablelands of NSW, has provided him with many opportunities, personally and professionally. The move to the country coincided with a move from school teaching (in Papua-New Guinea and Sydney) into psychological counselling, later finding its expression in tertiary teaching at Armidale College of Advanced Education and the University of New England. More recently he has developed a private counselling psychology practice in the city and worked as a counsellor at O'Connor Catholic College and, since 2006, at The Armidale School. Living ten kilometres from Armidale, Rob enjoys country life, his family, walking, cycling, music, literature, history and being outdoors in the garden. Overseas travel, with his wife Margaret, has been especially fruitful in broadening and deepening his experience of life. Poetry has long been a part of his personal engagement with experiences of all kinds, the search for meaning and understanding, and the acute sense of life itself in all its rich complexity and fragility. Rob's life is grounded within a contemplative spirituality in the Christian tradition that also turns towards the social and natural world in all its confronting, concrete and specific realities. The diversity of Rob's life experiences is reflected in the selection of poems for this book.
