Full Description
Acclaimed poet, Michel Shore, journeys a great distance, both physically and spiritually, in his compilation of poetry, entitled At the Window: An Odyssey of Scenes, Emotions and the Spirit. Written over a period of a month, at the turn of the millennium, in Jerusalem, Sinai and India, Shore pieces together his ancestral history and spiritual legacy, gently sweeping readers along with him, on his meditative odyssey. His journey takes him across the globe, to peoples and cultures vastly different, yet somehow similar, familiar, and always beloved. In pithy and lyrical verse, he rediscovers glorious Jerusalem after a long absence, finding - unexpectedly - that time has little relevance in spiritual matters - " the soul never moved, it remained at home." From the Sinai desert to ancient India. From Christianity to Islam, and Buddhism to Judaism, Michel Shore's spirituality, mirrored in his writing, encompasses the universality of God. The result is a journey that is firmly rooted in both the soul and the soil. It is the journey of a spiritual voyager, searching within himself, and for all humankind."
