In this book Sr. Stan reflects on the great themes of modern life – love, death, work, healing, our relationships with each other, and with the universe. Her philosophy is grounded in a Christian outlook, but looks beyond boundaries of any one faith or church to draw on the great spiritual traditions, on the poets and thinkers of East and West.  As Sister Stan focuses on a line of poetry from one of the world’s great authors, an idea from a psychotherapist or philosopher, or a proverb from oriental wisdom, she weaves her own thoughts around them in a way that presents them afresh, and allows us to see them from a new perspective. Reflective, contemplative and spiritual, it is the perfect tonic to our busy and relentless world.
