| Introduction | I’m a “spiritual” writer (by genre and content) with nothing against spirituality but with an understanding of what spirituality is that is more personal and social than it was when I started out. I’ve pretty much always written on matters of the heart and I get acquainted with some of those in solitude and some in the chaos of family life and living in the world. Since I can’t make the division anymore – you know the kind – heart matters over here/practical matters over there; secular matters here/spiritual matters there, I’ve found myself here, where I can express it all. Writings I’ve published: Two books of The Grace Trilogy, A Course of Love, The Treatises of A Course of Love, The Dialogues of A Course of Love, (www.acourseoflove.com), The Given Self, O Books, www.thegivenself.com. |
