Publisher's Synopsis
"Mystics of all traditions know that the secret of the universe is the Divine Light consciousness that is being-awareness-bliss can that at once transcends all things and lives in them as their essence: they know, too, that the secret of human life is to connect in awe and rapture with this primordial bliss consciousness and then embody it increasingly and enact its truth and laws in scared service to all sentient beings. These two interre.lated and universal truths dance together at the heart of all authentic revelations. They dance together also in the fiery sacred heart of Janine Canan, my friend of many decades now and a visionary intellectual and poet of incandescent authority and depth. Janine's work has many qualities to celebrate --rigor, range, exuberance, rich passion -- but what I most admire about Janine's poems is their simplicity, their naked directness of utterance that jets from a long and deeply lived union with the Mother. This simplicity, so luminous and radical, is the Mother's highest gift to her devotee, to the one brave and wild enough to be burnt away in her furnace to become one of her embodied flames of love and sacred passion." -- ANDREW HARVEY, author of The Direct Path All royalties from sales of this book go to Mata Amritanandamyi charities.
