“You must not be frightened...when a sadness arises within you of such magnitude as you have never experienced, or when a restlessness overshadows all you do, like light and the shadow of clouds gliding over your hand. You must believe that something is happening to you, that life has not forgotten you, that it holds you in its hand. It shall not let you fall.”—Rainer Maria Rilke

If you like Christian devotions and lit, this is a great book. She looks at 12 people and the archetype they represent in Christian faith. She has a meditation and mandala activity for each one to help you incorporate the characteristics in your life. A book I will go back to for those activities. I often thought while reading that except for the Scripture section, this could be for any spiritual person. My #bookspin for July @TheAromaofBooks
