Cold Spring Hallelujah explores the experience of being human in a
world that often seems broken. Woven together by threads of
healing, coming to terms with limitation, and deep reflection on
what truly matters, author Heidi Barr issues an invitation to
notice the fractured radiance that has the potential to be
uncovered in each human life-and to claim the story that finds a
foundation in love, of both self and neighbor. Often in dialogue
with the reader, she writes, "Claiming your story takes patience
and persistence. It takes the sort of self compassion that might,
one day, paint the sky with a splendor that can only be found by
falling into the fractured radiance that defines what it means to
be alive on planet earth. Be brave enough to look through a
different lens if you need to, and explore an unfamiliar path. Let
the stumbles and the joys and everything in between lead you toward
hallelujah. I'll meet you there." Cold Spring Hallelujah is a book
to keep close on the path into healing.
Woodland Manitou: To Be on Earth is a collection of essays rooted
in the rhythm of the natural world. Through the turn of the
seasons, Heidi Barr illustrates how the cycles of the earth have
informed her everyday life from community to vocation to the food
that finds its way to the dinner table. Through gardening, simple
living, and prioritizing sustainability, Barr paints a picture of
how remaining close to the earth provides a solid foundation even
as the climate changes and the story of the world shifts. Part
stories, part wonderings, and part call to act, this collection of
meditations invites reflection, encourages awareness, and inspires
action.
Slouching Toward Radiance is a collection of nature poetry,
meditations, gentle advice, and nudges toward reflection. It's the
sort of poetry that anyone can read, even people who don't like
poetry- a book that can be picked up and paged through to whatever
sections fit for the day or season of life. Heidi Barr's words are
worthy companions on the way toward living a life steeped in
integrity and compassion for one's fellow beings-from the human
down the street to a deer in the forest. It's a walk through a
metaphorical day, from dawn to dusk, noticing the holy ordinary
even through storms, by way of solitude and community. It's an
invitation to start where you are, to find beauty and healing in
the everyday stuff of life, and to make the choices that lead to
fully living in the ways that work best. Part invitation, part
musing, part blessing, Slouching Toward Radiance is a call to show
up to life in the way that works best for you. You get to decide
what to do with the words on the pages that follow. Wherever the
words land, and however you decide to respond to them, you may just
find it's possible to find renewal in the ordinary dance of living.
