A Way of Knowing is about small things and little occasions, the
smells, colours, sounds, the looking, perceiving, thinking,
remembering of our lives and the love that makes them significant.
In a mix of poems, stories and material suitable for private or
public reflection the book explores our knowing and our unknowing.
It celebrates the validity of all experience, singing the creation
and resting in the beauty of silence. The Buddha was once asked,
'What makes a person holy?' He replied, 'Every hour is divided into
a certain number of seconds and every second into a certain number
of fractions. Anyone who is able to be totally present in each
fraction of a second is holy.' There is nothing common about common
life - it takes an awakened sense to see what is mysterious in each
ordinary moment, to ponder in our hearts, to really see people and
things - not our preconceptions of them. Sharing the story of who
we are and what we have seen, listening to the stories of others,
using our imagination fully, these are amongst the greatest things
we can do in our time on earth. Imagination matters. It helps us
see clearly things as they are and as they could be. It makes the
particular universal. A way of being and placing, seeing and
naming, that holds the intensity of the moment, cherishing it,
playing the music of dailyness through all remembering: a way of
knowing, a way to the intelligence of the heart.
