BRUSSAT Frederic and Mary  Spiritual Literacy Reading the Sacred in Everyday Life
FINE FINE $20 C/C Scribner 1996 first edition hardcover, 608pp Spiritual Literacy answers the universal question. "How can I live a spiritual life every day?" Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, who have been covering contemporary culture and the spiritual renaissance for more than twenty-five years. believe that we can read the texts of our lives and of the world around us for sacred meaning. All we need is spiritual literacy. To illustrate their point, the Brussats present more than 650 "readings" about daily life from present-day authors - spiritual teachers, essayists, novelists, filmmakers, poets, naturalists, and social activists. This collection is unprecedented - an enthralling treasury of brief, "aha!" passages from such writers as Maya Angelou, Wendell Berry, Ram Dass. Annie Dillard, Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Robert Fulghum. Eduardo Galeano, Thich Nhat Hanh, Barbara Kingsolver, Jonathan Kozol, Kathleen Norris. Henri J. M. Nouwen, Anne Tyler, and many more. The Brussats add demonstrations of spiritual literacy based on their personal experiences and their interpretations of contemporary movies, songs, and television dramas. These remarkable readings tutor us in the art of lingering with our experiences and seeing the world with fresh eyes. They offer spiritual perspectives on things. places, nature, animals, leisure activities, creative pursuits, work, body, illness, death, relationships, and community. Life's meaning and the presence of spirit are found in the shape of a child's foot, in an encounter with a wild animal, in the memories evoked by a rocking chair, in the process of doing a hobby, or in the messages on a computer screen. Woven throughout the book are references to the Alphabet of Spiritual Literacy, the "letters" which, according to the Brussats, are needed to read the world. ISBN 0684815338 [# 754 otherrel]

KRISHNAMURTI J  Krishnamurti to Himself His Last Journal
FN FN as new $15 C/B Gollancz 1987 first edition hard cover, 134pp. Krishnamurti's Journal was published in 1982 and has been one of his most popular books. But when he wished to continue with it he found that the act of writing tired him (he was eighty-seven). It was suggested, therefore, that he should dictate into a tape-recorder, an idea that appealed to him. All except one of the dictations in this volume were recorded from his home, Pine Cottage in the Ojai Valley, California. He would dictate in the mornings, while in bed after breakfast, undisturbed. The reader gets very close to Krishnamurti in these pieces - almost, it seems at moments, into his very consciousness. The gist of his teachings is here, and the descriptions of nature with which he begins most of the pieces may for many, who regard him as a poet as well as a philosopher, quieten their whole being so that they become intuitively responsive to what follows. Strangely, the final piece, and perhaps the most beautiful, is about death. It is the last occasion on which we shall ever hear Krishnamurti discoursing to himself. Two years later he died in this same bedroom at Pine Cottage. ISBN 0575040602 [#606 myst]
