The author of May I Have This Dance joins with the artist of the Earth Calendar to create an inspiring book that will sing in your soul and make you feel more alive. “I made an astounding discovery as a child in Iowa,” writes Joyce Rupp, “one that awakened my awareness. I discovered that I am a part of a vast and marvelous dance that goes on unceasingly at every moment in every particle of the universe. What a marvel to know that each cell of my body is part of yours, and yours of mine, and that all of us are one! Think of what that means!” Through powerful prose and poetry, Joyce Rupp helps us know our unity with each other and all of life. She calls us to live compassionately with each person and particle of creation. She challenges us to hear the pain of the planet and to care for the earth and its inhabitants. Most of all, she draws us to fuller enjoyment and appreciation of life and its unbreakable goodness in ourselves and in everyone and everything around us. Beautiful full-color art by Mary Southard accompanies the text. Together they fill our souls with feelings of awe, gratitude, and love. The Cosmic Dance is a melody that each of us is dimly aware of; after reading this book, we will hear it sing. Orbis Books.
