From the preface These are the movements of an ordinary pilgrim to an extraordinary place on earth. The physical journey is both the story and a backdrop to record the spiritual journey. The tools and the method for spiritual pursuit are drawn from the inexhaustible myths and these myths enable us to understand abstract philosophy and these philosophies are laden with history. The mythical and cultural histories intersect with my personal history. It is a journey outward and inwards and woven into this multidirectional movement is a personal tale of a daughter's search for her lost father who had to be reclaimed on a higher plane. Taken together this multi layered narrative is the longing of the soul to dance and when the Lord of dance recognises this desire and extends his helping hand it transpires into Movements with the Cosmic Dancer. 220 pp. Seller Inventory # 60520
