We live in two seemingly incompatible
worlds—rational and spiritual.
How can we keep our
balance?
Like the dolphin who exists in both water
and air, so must we learn to live and thrive in two conflicting
worlds—the rational, material, everyday craziness of life
versus the still, spiritual soulfulness of our deepest selves.
Balancing the two—difficult as it often can be—is
the key to our spiritual survival.
Through poignant stories, spiritual
teaching and insights, Karyn Kedar shares with us the ways we
can integrate the everyday—family, work, personal
challenges—with our quest for deeper spiritual
understanding. She helps us to decode the three
“languages” we must learn to weave the seemingly
ordinary and extraordinary together:
Prayer—The
path through which our souls connect with the Divine.
Perspective—How
we define life’s twists and turns, and how our words and
actions define the quality of our lives.
Meaning—The
quest to understand and make sense of all that seems
incompatible.
In graceful ways, Kedar shows us that by
realizing the connection between the ordinary and the
awe-inspiring, we can synchronize our hearts with the ways of
the world and live with joy, a sense of calm and greater
purpose.
