Out of the Wilderness: A Journey to Our Deeper Self

We all have a sense of being in the wilderness, being lost; feeling at times that our life and we are not enough, that there is something missing and we must search. In these periods we are all moved to discover a more fulfilled life beyond ‘the wilderness’. This book, Out of the Wilderness: A Journey to our Deeper Self marks a period of my life when I left the familiar path, and became involved in a committed search towards fulfilment and meaning. This set of stories were my way of capturing what emerged and what came to be of unique value from the journey into my own wilderness. The themes of these stories are universal and will resonate.; getting beyond the habit and half-sleep of ordinary living; reaching beyond wanting and expectation; re-connecting to the wonder and mystery of things; living beyond the grip of fear; learning to open the heart wider; discovering a deeper sense of being and wholeness; and becoming intimate with oneself. This book is for all those travellers who wish to stay conscious and open to exploring the deeper, unchartered waters of their lives. The mix of poetry and prose seek to subtly involve the reader in the discovery of personal insight, and inspire them to awaken, participate, and become authors of their every precious chapter and verse. After all, this human life is for real and is not a rehearsal.
