Author: Thomas Moore

Format: Hardback

Number of Pages: 320


The companion volume to "Care of the Soul", this book shows how the need to love and to connect with others leads inevitably not only into intimacy, but also into many kinds of difficulty and even failure. It emphasizes that if people are willing to live through these difficulties, life is enriched and the soul thrives. Moore describes how "soul-intimacy" can be cultivated in unexpected ways, such as in letter-writing and conversations that are not necessarily confessional, and how it can grow through sexuality and jealousy, boredom and endings. On another level, he investigates the possibility of soulful community in society and among nations. For insight he appeals to figures such as Emily Dickenson, Black Elk and Sufi poets, among others, all of whom recognized intimacy as a matter of soul rather than interpersonal dynamics. Thomas Moore is the author of "A Blue Fire".
