Böcker av Gunilla Norris

"Gunilla Norris is now at the height of her powers as a poet. The poems in this new collection are sublime--one after another and another. Reading them, I can hardly catch my breath. The work is full of what I might call sorrowful joy. Ms. Norris observes life so closely and opens ordinary moments into what I can only call the divine realms. Truly, as much as any collection I've ever read, this group of poems makes me want to write poetry myself, and makes me want to see life as Ms. Norris sees it." -Stephen Cope, Scholar Emeritus, Kripalu Center for Yoga and HealthBest-selling author of The Great Work of Your Life, and Soul Friends

"Timeless wisdom, poetic and true, to return to again and again as you journey on the path. Hints for the Heart is a beautiful invitation to enter the flow of our lives and discover the boundless mystery of who we really are."-Tara brach, author of Radical Acceptance"Living ordinary life with extraordinary love is the key to the contemplative journey. Norris takes the ordinary forgotten actions of each day and helps us celebrate them in a way that intensifies our awareness."-Father Carl J. Arico"If by acclamation a spiritual master of the quotidian could be announced surely the name Gunilla Norris would sound uncontested. No one illumines the mysteries of the moment as she does-the gifts of every-day grace, of familiar sacraments, of veiled divinities awaiting our discovery. Throughout her exceptionally rich and numerous corpus of offerings, she teaches us to witness and celebrate the blessed abundance spilling over from the smallest things."-Kathleen Noone Deignan, Director the Institute For Earth and Spirit At Iona University"Hints from the Heart is an invitation to discover God through the simple gifts of sense and self. Through the gifts of breath, touch, taste, sight, and smell she invites us to awaken to wonder and oneness-and in the process to become love, the only real hope for our hurting world."-The Rev. Matthew Wright

In Simple Ways acclaimed spiritual writer and teacher Gunilla Norris has distilled a lifetime of seeking and reflecting into a beautifully worded, lucid, and practical primer for prayer, meditation, and mindful living.

'People often contact me because they have lost some kind of meaning thread in their lives. Without a sense of meaning our lives lose their lustre. We endure our days rather than embrace the living of them.'
