I've been meaning for some time to read Henri Nouwen, a Christian writer I've always associated with profound spirituality, intelligence and wisdom. This book might have been a weird one to start with, but it does make me want to read more of his work. It's a journal he kept during one of the lowest periods of his life. "Within me there was one long scream coming from a place I didn't know existed, a place full of demons." It was written for his eyes only, short entries he calls "spiritual imperatives" that he wrote after therapy sessions. The journal was not published until years later when friends convinced him to share it. I read a few of these "imperatives" each day, highlighted a lot, but in searching my notes, I don't know how much I can share that will make sense out of context. I did like this way of thinking about suffering. ...real healing comes from realizing that your own particular pain is a share in humanity's pain. And I liked what he said in his conclusion. There is hardly a day without some dark clouds drifting by. But today I recognize them for what they are without putting my head in them! I saw a bit of overlap in ideas with Pema Chodron's When Things Fall Apart, which I read earlier this year, and I found that interesting. This is definitely from a Christian point of view, and some segments resonate more than others, because he was also writing from the perspective of a spiritual leader. I'm glad I read it, and that it's in my kindle library so I can revisit my notes. Though a few of the entries really hit home with me, and I can appreciate the deeply personal struggles represented by Nouwen's journals, I couldn't relate to most of them. Maybe if I read this at another time in my life, I might like it more. Other than reading quotations by other authors (which I have often thought profound), this is my first exposure to Nouwen. Maybe this was a bad place to start. A very profound book but a difficult read. A nun-friend recommended this book when I was in one of my difficult periods in my life. And it indeed gave me comfort and brought light to my own darkness. It is to be read by bits; choosing the topic that can respond to your particular need so as to let Nouwen's writing relate well with your own journey in your spiritual life. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

At first, he had no intention of sharing this personal diary of the dark and difficult months when he felt all meaning in his life was missing and all ahead seemed a dark, bottomless abyss. In spite of his inner turmoil, Nouwen recorded the descent into his heart in these 63 journal entries. Friends persuaded him that sharing his painful soul-searching might help others who also struggle to embrace life with joy. Throughout his life, Nouwen longed for deeper relationships with others and with God. "Do not hesitate to love and to love deeply," he urges. While your heart may break, he says, you will then have a choice-to become bitter or to stand in your pain and become fruitful with God as the spiritual guide of your life. The inner voice is a voice of love. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
