Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of reflections and observations about life before and after I came to prison, as currently seen from the perspective of this Awake Emptiness at my core. I am profoundly grateful to the late Douglas Harding and his friends for helping me to see Who I Really Am, and to thus break the bonds of contraction and confusion that defined my criminal past. Truly without deserving it, I have been blessed with the miracle of inner freedom, the turnaround of turnarounds, what Harding referred to as the no-meter path to heaven. This book is about living and failing to live the awakened life, and how discovering one's Emptiness—one's divinity—is the difference between the two, which, as it turns out, were never two to begin with. As Harding often said, you cannot fix yourself from the level of the self. Only the One who is Other and yet not other, who is both No-thing and Everything, who is at the very heart of you as Who You Really Are, can transform your life.

It contains 78 stories, poems and reflections about God's intimate and attentive love for us. Through the events of Esther's everyday life and her exploration of contemplative Christian spirituality, she is drawn deeper in love with God, her neighbour and creation. "The seed has cracked open," she says, "and I discovered, as the poet Hafiz did, that 'there are two of us housed in this body': God and me! Wherever we go, whatever we do, God is there-inspiring, transforming and enjoying me as I am. That's led to some delightful 'love-mischief' for the world." Seed Cracked Open also contains five prayer retreat outlines designed for individuals or groups. The contents were originally published as posts on her blog An Everyday Pilgrim from July 2013 to December 31, 2014.

Book excerpt: Sacred poetry from twelve mystics and saints, rendered brilliantly by Daniel Ladinsky, beloved interpreter of verses by the fourteenth-century Persian poet Hafiz One of 6 Books Oprah Loves to Give as Gifts During the Holidays “All kinds of beautiful poetry.” –Hoda Kotb In this luminous collection, Daniel Ladinsky—best known for his bestselling interpretations of the great Sufi poet Hafiz—brings together the timeless work of twelve of the world’s finest spiritual writers, six from the East and six from the West. Once again, Ladinsky reveals his talent for creating profound and playful renditions of classic poems for a modern audience. Rumi’s joyous, ecstatic love poems; St. Francis’s loving observations of nature through the eyes of Catholicism; Kabir’s wild, freeing humor that synthesizes Hindu, Muslim, and Christian beliefs; St. Teresa’s sensual verse; and the mystical, healing words of Sufi poet Hafiz—these along with inspiring works by Rabia, Meister Eckhart, St. Thomas Aquinas, Mira, St. Catherine of Siena, St. Teresa of Avila, St. John of the Cross, and Tukaram are all “love poems by God” from writers considered “conduits of the divine.” Together, they form a spiritual treasure to cherish always.

Download or read book The Gift written by Hafiz and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1999-08-01 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chosen by author Elizabeth Gilbert as one of her ten favorite books, Daniel Ladinsky’s extraordinary renderings of 250 unforgettable lyrical poems by Hafiz, one of the greatest Sufi poets of all time More than any other Persian poet—even Rumi—Hafiz expanded the mystical, healing dimensions of poetry. Because his poems were often ecstatic love songs from God to his beloved world, many have called Hafiz the “Invisible Tongue.” Indeed, Daniel Ladinsky has said that his work with Hafiz is an attempt to do the impossible: to render Light into words—to make the Luminous Resonance of God tangible to our finite senses. I am a hole in a flute that the Christ's breath moves through— listen to this music! With this stunning collection of Hafiz’s most intimate poems, Ladinsky has succeeded brilliantly in presenting the essence of one of Islam’s greatest poetic and religious voices. Each line of The Gift imparts the wonderful qualities of this master Sufi poet and spiritual teacher: encouragement, an audacious love that touches lives, profound knowledge, generosity, and a sweet, playful genius unparalleled in world literature.

Download or read book Cande er Furtun written by Selen Ansen and published by Arter Publications. This book was released on 2022-02-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the 1960s onwards, Candeğer Furtun has produced ceramic works informed by problematics relating to life, philosophy, history, society and politics, featuring an original approach in terms of both form and material. Published on the occasion of the artist’s first retrospective exhibition (16/09/2021–17/04/2022) held at Arter, this book provides a visual and conceptual record of Furtun’s production throughout the years, while granting visibility to the pioneering contributions she made to the art of ceramics as well as the multiple facets of her artistic practice, sustained by an unmediated relationship with the earth. Opening with a curatorial introductory text whereby Selen Ansen broaches the artist’s work under the aegis of the three-year-long preparation process of the exhibition along the concept of “bark”, the book features, in addition to an extensive conversation with the artist by Hanife Ölmez, which sheds light on the experiences that shaped both Furtun’s life and her artistic journey, a text written by Füreya Koral for Furtun in 1994, which is presented to the reader for the very first time in this publication. While a text written by author Latife Tekin specifically for this occasion is followed by an art historical exploration by Deniz Artun, ceramic artists Christie Brown, Phoebe Cummings, Sakine Çil and Yasemin Özcan also provide a written account of their “encounters” with Furtun’s work. Poet Francis Ponge’s “Unfinished Ode to Mud”, texts by Melike Abasıyanık Kurtiç, Ayda Arel, Gottfried Borrmann and Seyhun Topuz focusing on various periods and layers of Furtun’s production as well as archival photographs reflecting the artist’s educational experiences seminal in her ceramic journey, past exhibitions and production processes in her studio help further broaden the scope of this monography. Designed by Emre Çıkınoğlu, the book also features exhibition and reproduction photographs by Hadiye Cangökçe and flufoto (Barış Aras and Elif Çakırlar).
