“The first language of all mystics is poetry. Theologians camp way down stream from the source. They do for mystics what literary critics do for secular poets: not much. Roger Housden guides us upstream past the camps of theological schools to the valley of springs. Thus this book is a marvelous gift for all whose hearts yearn for God, as the deer yearns for living waters.”
— Brother David Steindl-Rast, OSB,co-founder of www.gratefulness.org
“I hope Roger Housden’s wonderful work keeps reaching thousands, and helps to lift our world’s wing and heart.”
— Daniel Ladinsky, international best-selling Penguin author of poetry
“Roger Housden has done it again—provided us with a cornucopia of spiritual wonders, explained and commented on with elegance and wit and a clarity illumined by the wisdom of fervor. This celebration of the Christian Mystical Tradition will exhaust and feed the souls of seekers on all paths.”
— Andrew Harvey, author of The Hope
“Like luminous pools of still water, each of the poems that Roger has so skillfully selected casts light on the path of practice and quenches the spiritual thirst of sincere speakers. Roger’s comments cast a pebble into these pools that stirs ripples of imagery and appreciation, enlivening their offering.”
— Paul Haller, co-abbot, San Francisco Zen center
