Sophia in Arcadia Richard Wehrman

In a world of increasing separation those who seek unity have always relied on the support of nature to reconnect their lives with essential oneness. Seen as the Creator's original Eden, or personified as Gaia, Mary, Persephone, Isis and others, we each seek a personal spiritual relationship to the earth that gave us our very bodies and soul. Sophia in Arcadia is a reverie of one summer's opening to the fullness and healing offered in personal relationship to what we intuitively recognize is the source of our physical and spiritual sustenance. In this time of increasing fear and anxiety surrounding our place in the world, and in the challenges of climate change and environmental degradation, these poems offer a respite and access to an unseen resource--the open love of the Heart. As well as a new recognition of our essential oneness with our first true love, and ultimately our own. From the back cover: Sophia in Arcadia gathers poems germinated in the soil of Robert Sardello's heart-opening and continuing work with the Spiritual Earth, as well as the territory opened by A. H. Almaas and the infinitely expanding realms of the Diamond Approach teachings
