In the Shelter:
Finding a Home in the World
A
Christian pathway into mindfulness, using the gospels, poetry and storytelling
There's an
old Irish proverb: 'It is in the shelter of each other that the people live'.
In this book much-loved poet, storyteller, theologian and speaker Pádraig Ó
Tuama applies ideas of shelter and welcome to journeys of life, using poetry,
story, biblical reflection and prose to open up gentle ways of living well in a
troubled world.
Interweaving
everyday stories with analysis, gospel reflections with mindfulness and Celtic
spirituality with poetry, this book explores the practice of welcoming as a
spiritual discipline. In particular, Pádraig tells careful stories of welcoming
parts of life that are often unwelcome.
