One Ojibway's Meditations
"Life sometimes is hard. There are challenges. There are difficulties.
There is pain. As a younger man I sought to avoid them and only ever
caused myself more of the same. These days I choose to face life head
onand I have become a comet. I arc across the sky of my life and the
harder times are the friction that lets the worn and tired bits drop
away. It's a good way to travel; eventually I will wear away all
resistance until all there is left of me is light. I can live towards
that end."
Richard Wagamese, Embers
In this carefully curated selection of everyday reflections, Richard Wagamese finds lessons in both the mundane and sublime as he muses on the universe, drawing inspiration from working in the bushsawing and cutting and stacking wood for winter as well as the smudge ceremony to bring him closer to the Creator. Embers is perhaps Richard Wagamese's most personal volume to date. Honest, evocative and articulate, he explores the various manifestations of grief, joy, recovery, beauty, gratitude, physicality and spiritualityconcepts many find hard to express. But for Wagamese, spirituality is multifaceted. Within these pages, readers will find hard-won and concrete wisdom on how to feel the joy in the everyday things. Wagamese does not seek to be a teacher or guru, but these observations made along his own journey to become, as he says, "a spiritual bad-ass," make inspiring reading.
