内容简介:
Nesting: A Woman's Voice from the Wilderness is the collection of poems that grew from the seed of struggle and pilgrimage into the solitude of the inner dispositions of the soul. It ponders and praises and celebrates the process of becoming still to hear the call in every heart; to see with discerning eyes; to trust the indwelling comforter. It speaks and screams and echoes a pervasive, persistent longing; an unrelenting ache; a pacing on cold floorboards missing someone, someplace, something. The works within this volume reflect the crystalline pieces of self scattered and retrieved from life's passages, as a result of moving freely through memories and musings: present to past, past to present, to open to the sacred in the simple dailiness of living. It warns us not to miss the moment, not to squander our souls on the passing baubles and trinkets of life, when it is life itself that life must be about. In a recondite sense, Nesting is a poetic guidebook for "walking into the tomb," armed with the spiritual tools of the day, for heeding the call out of our groping, daily selves and into the cloister of the heart: for emerging renewed, able to recognize the minute-by-minute miracles in the mundane. Dr. Bielowski offers it to her readers, to her fellow seekers, to her wayfaring strangers as warm lining for their own nesting-as a rescue flare for their own journeying on the way to the fullness of life.
