In this follow-up to his international bestsellers Anam Cara and
Eternal Echoes, John O'Donohue turns his attention to the subject of
beauty--the divine beauty that calls the imagination and awakens all
that is noble in the human heart
Beauty is a gentle but urgent call to awaken. O'Donohue opens our
eyes, hearts, and minds to the wonder of our own relationship with
beauty by exposing the infinity and mystery of its breadth. His words
return us to the dignity of silence, profundity of stillness, power of
thought and perception, and the eternal grace and generosity of beauty's
presence.
In this masterful and revelatory work, O'Donohue encourages our greater
intimacy with beauty and celebrates it for what it really is: a
homecoming of the human spirit. As he focuses on the classical,
medieval, and Celtic traditions of art, music, literature, nature, and
language, O'Donohue reveals how beauty's invisible embrace invites us
toward new heights of passion and creativity even in these uncertain
times of global conflict and crisis.
