Oriah je predovšetkým rozprávačka, milovníčka slov, symbolov a príbehov, ktoré povznášajú nášho ducha, otvárajú naše srdcia a ponúkajú spôsoby, ako vidieť vzorce a vytvárať zmysel v našich životoch. Zameraním jej života a práce je neustále skúmanie posvätného tajomstva. Jej písanie, učenie a osobná cesta skúmajú, ako sa každý z nás môže stať jednotlivcom, akým sme na najhlbšej úrovni bytia, a ako môžeme spoločne spoluvytvárať zmysel vo svete. Oriah, miešajúc humor, vhľad a súcit s našimi ľudskými zápasmi, povzbudzuje seba aj ostatných k bezohľadnej úprimnosti a nekonečnej láskavosti k vlastným silným a slabým stránkam.
Autorka, duchovná učiteľka a spisovateľka, v tejto krásnej knižke vyzýva čitateľov k životu plnému vášne, energie a poctivosti. Ponúka nám prostriedky na to, aby sme plne rozvinuli to, čím už sme, a nesnažili sa byť niekým iným. Je to kniha inšpirujúca, nesmierna múdra a láskavá, hlboko poučná i praktická.
Visionary author Oriah Mountain Dreamer brings to life the wisdom of her beloved invitation, which has touched hearts everywhere with its fresh and spirited call to live life more deeply, honestly, and well. Like the inspirations for Robert Fulghum′s All I Really Need to Know I learned in Kindergarten, Cherie Carter-Scott′s If Life Is a Game, These are the Rules, and Margaret Fishback Power′s Footprints, the poem that sparked The Invitation has been embraced around the world, passed along by thousands who have discovered and treasured its message. In this lovely gift book the author speaks from the heart, reflecting on everything from desire to betrayal and offering practical - and often surprising - suggestions for how to live the ecstasy of everyday life, learn to recognise true beauty in ourselves and the world around us, and how to find the sustenance that our spirit longs for. The poem Invitation has been recited and quoted at countless spiritual conferences, and on network radio by Robert Bly, Jack Kornfield, Angeles Arrien, and many other spiritual leaders. From the Invitation: ȴ doesn′t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart′s longing. It doesn′t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for the adventure of being alive ...′
A beautiful presentation of Oriah's signature prose poem, preceded by a chapter relating the full life story behind the poem and then followed by a chapter on the life of the poem and its remarkable effect on people's lives, including her own.
