Book excerpt: Sudden Spirit traces the presence of holy moments in everyday life, giving voice to the small awakenings that are often overlooked in the hurried course of a day. Through lyric poetry and prose, the authors explore diverse paths to the sacred, finding the Divine in both traditional and surprising places. Their teachers on the journey range from spiders and cats to moonrises and babies; their pieces cull sumptuous images from the natural world, as well as the inner worlds of memory and prayer. This is a book of connections to self, to others, to the earth, to ancestors and traditions, to life itself and to the Source of all life. In celebration of these connections, and of the luminescent moments that open us to the sacred, Sudden Spirit offers a kaleidoscope of beauty. Slow down to the speed of life, and savor a taste of holy moments within these pages.
