| Publisher Description: Stillness and Insight is intended to provide readers with a retreat like opportunity. It describes the values of learning to be still; values such as inner peace, a deepening sense of mystery and awe, and a recognition of the interconnectedness of all things that are. The book needs to be read intuitively and the words pondered in receptive quiet. There are many blank pages on which readers can write or draw their responses to the words. |
Contributor Bio(s): Sweers, Carolyn J.: - Carolyn Sweers grew up on an Iowa farm in the 1950's. It was there that she had her first experiences of the profound Silence she tries to describe in this book. These experiences, more than any others, shaped her life and led her to a career as a philosophy student and teacher. This book and others that she has had published recently, have a shared objective: to evoke insight in the reader. She knows from experience the importance of finding what Kierkegaard called "the truth for me." And, she shares the Socratic conviction that people have within them this truth. It simply needs to be evoked. That is what this book attempts to do. |
