Strung between heaven and earth

A fresh collection of poems and images that capture the raw reality of the life caught in the tension between the ‘already’ and the ‘not yet’. This multi-media feast brings together inspirational words with beautiful hand-crafted illustrations and sound clips of the author reading. Funny, lofty, ironic, profound - these words bring hope without hype  and shatter religious mindsets with their honest vulnerability. 


“Serenity and surrender are not the ultimate goals of spirituality. If anyone told you that the spiritual life was a ‘higher plane’, a ‘zone of tranquillity’, to be reached by surrendering your will to the divine and merging with the cosmos - don’t believe them! There is no escaping the daily experience that we live our lives in tension, ‘strung-out.’ But if our seeming earth-bound souls are anchored in a heavenly reality, it is a tension that creates beautiful music, music that comforts the weary hearts of other travellers.”
