Soul Songs

Between God and the soul, there is no in-between, said Julian of Norwich, a 14th-century mystic, and that idea frames the poems in this collection.Norris central idea is that mystery is the core of being. It is in us and around us. Given a chance, something deep inside will show up as longing, something that cant be explained but needs expression. This is what she begins to call soul singing.A well-known writer and poet now in her eighties, Gunilla Norris offers this collection of short prayers, tender moments of awareness, even humming, that express her yearning for and experience of connecting with the Source of all. Norris expressions have a universal feel, and speak across a spectrum of traditions. Above all,Soul Songsshows how sometimes we simply cant help but lift our hearts and sing for the souls sake.
