Through the simple act of writing we begin a process with prehistoric origins, yet which sets us apart frome very other living creature. This audiobook is an elegant reflection on the sacredness of words and their creation from this bestselling writer and authority on the inner life. Moore teaches that each word we write - whether it is part of a shopping list, a note to a friend, or a novel - connects us directly to the classic tradition of logos, or word. Once a revered practice, guarded by monks in the sanctity of the scriptorium, writing continues to offer us all direct passage to the soul's inner-most corridors. with an ingenious eye, Moore looks back at the writer's art and retrieves treasured practices for returning the written word to the realm of spirit and beauty. This works explores the historical, philosophical, and spiritual roots of writing, insights on journal writing, letter writing, and writer's life and more, reading and writing as contemplative practices, and lessons from great writers, including Rilke, Dickinson, and Emerson. Abridged. 2 cassettes. 3 hours.
