Holy Fire: The Process of Soul Awakening

This book is about human beauty, the deep beauty of the soul as it emerges and shines more fully within us. It is about the process by which this emergence comes into being, and the vicissitudes of the journey that we take in order to be fulfilled in this way. It is a report from the 50 years or so of what I have experienced and learned from working with others to support and nourish this soul birth and journey within their lives, and it is also a reflection on my own experience of this birth and journey and the experiences along the way that have led to understanding this process more clearly and deeply.

Wait

in growing dark
for loved ones
before and behind

Surrender

at last to time and space
returning our bodies ablaze
with the almost unbearable beauty of
