Balance Point : Searching for a
Spiritual Missing Link
is an
interesting book. Despite what you may think from reading the title,
the book is written by a non-Pagan. This makes the author's
observations even more remarkable.
It details the
true story of Mr Jenkins as he goes on a quest of sorts, in order to follow
the bequest of his estranged and recently deceased Great Aunt Lucille.
On his way, he discovers his
Great Aunt's spiritual Path, meets with a Dianic Wiccan Coven, participates
in a Sweat Lodge ceremony, and learns what Aunt Lucille has been doing for the past several
years.
You see, Great
Aunt Lucille had discovered a startling (and quite plausible) link between
bee behavior and the Global Warming crisis. She had still been
researching her theory when she died quite suddenly. |
| In her Will, she instructs Mr
Jenkins to go to her remote cabin and follow the instructions he'll find
there. Reluctantly, he accedes to her wishes, figuring his Great Aunt
was a harmless kook.
However, the surprises he finds there will change his life
forever.
If you are concerned about Global Warming and its effect
on the Living Earth, this book is for you. Since it isn't
Pagan-authored, it gives a more balanced perspective on the theories
presented. The author maintains a healthy amount of skepticism where
Earth-centered spirituality is concerned, but isn't offensive about it, and
even he can't explain some of the weird coincidences that occur in the
course of his encounters and travels. |
