a hidden wholeness

i have my hot little hands on a proof copy of parker palmer's new book a hidden wholeness, the journey toward an undivided life. i'm giddy with anticipation. it's not available in stores until september, and i am gleefully looking forward to sitting down with a cuppa joe and absorbing his every thought.

for those of you who read my blog regularly you know i can't shut up about let your life speak, it was life changing for me, and i can't wait to read what he has to say about 'welcoming the soul and weaving community in a wounded world.'

here's the first quote:

wholeness does not mean perfection: it means embracing brokenness as an integral part of life. knowing this gives me hope that human wholeness - mine, yours, ours - need not be a utopian dream, if we can use devastation as a seedbed for new life.

okay, off to read! ttfn!
