Inspired by the poet's time living in Ireland these readings invite you into deeper ways of seeing the world. They have an incantational quality. Drawing on her commitment as a Benedictine oblate, the poems arise out of a practice of sitting in silence and \u003cem\u003electio divina\u003c\/em\u003e, in which life becomes the holy text.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo stranger to poetry, Paintner's bestselling spirituality titles have often included poems. In this first exclusively poetic collection, she writes with a contemplative heart about kinship with nature, ancestral connections, intimacy, the landscape, the unfolding nature of time, and Christian mystics. It can be read for reflection to spark the heart and to offer solace and inspiration in difficult times.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBreath\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This\u003cbr\u003e breathing\u003cbr\u003e in is a miracle, \u003cbr\u003e this breathing out, release, \u003cbr\u003e this breathing in a welcome to\u003cbr\u003e the unseen gifts which sustain me each\u003cbr\u003e moment, this breathing out a sweet sigh, \u003cbr\u003e a bow to my mortality, this breathing in\u003cbr\u003e a holy yes to life, this breathing out\u003cbr\u003e a sacred no to all that causes\u003cbr\u003e me to clench and grasp, \u003cbr\u003e this breathing in is a\u003cbr\u003e revelation, this\u003cbr\u003e breathing out, \u003cbr\u003e freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Paraclete Press (MA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/19\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781640601086\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.40d","brand":"Christine Valters Paintner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36663946444956,"sku":"9781640601086","price":15.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_18f014bc-7310-4ef0-8e1e-fece8a4e6f63.jpg?v=1603905426","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/dreaming-of-stones-poems-9781640601086","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
