The poems in Dreaming of Stones are about what endures: hope and
desire, changing seasons, wild places, love, and the wisdom of
mystics. Inspired by the poet's time living in Ireland these
readings invite you into deeper ways of seeing the world. They have
an incantational quality. Drawing on her commitment as a
Benedictine oblate, the poems arise out of a practice of sitting in
silence and lectio divina, in which life becomes the holy text. No
stranger to poetry, Paintner's bestselling spirituality titles have
often included poems. In this first exclusively poetic collection,
she writes with a contemplative heart about kinship with nature,
ancestral connections, intimacy, the landscape, the unfolding
nature of time, and Christian mystics. It can be read for
reflection to spark the heart and to offer solace and inspiration
in difficult times. Breath This breathing in is a miracle, this
breathing out, release, this breathing in a welcome to the unseen
gifts which sustain me each moment, this breathing out a sweet
sigh, a bow to my mortality, this breathing in a holy yes to life,
this breathing out a sacred no to all that causes me to clench and
grasp, this breathing in is a revelation, this breathing out,
freedom.
