Becoming Stories: Essays and Poems on Mythic Moments

"Slattery has inspired generations of students and readers with a warm-hearted, probing, and productive intelligence that seems to relish the sharing of insights and the dialectical conversation that rises from speaking, listening, and interrogating the meta-conversation that emerges." -From the foreword by James Hollis

There are many different kinds of knowing.

The lame goat's kind is a branch

that traces back to the roots of presence.

Learn from the lame goat,

and lead the herd home. (Rumi)

Dennis Patrick Slattery's hope is that Becoming Stories offers a variety of expressions to lead the reader home.
