What's Hid Beneath the Bones of This Great Tree: An Epic Journey
Description:
Product Description This Great Tree weaves thirty poetic meditations and full-color works of art into a lyrical tale of healing, resiliency, and transformation. The story gathers us into a world animated by mystery—trees feel, forests speak, and deep caverns hold secrets. Together, they guide us into the depths of personal experience and struggle, inviting us into a full and flourishing life. The tale arises from the author’s own experience of tragedy, loss, and recovery. A classic journey of the soul, reimagined for our times, What’s Hid Beneath the Bones of This Great Tree bears profound psychological and spiritual insights for personal healing and growth as well as for the ways human beings can cultivate a more benevolent and soulful presence on the Earth. Review "Katabasis, the journey below!--taken by Gilgamesh, Aeneas with his Golden Bough, Dante, Alice tumbling down her rabbit hole. Often a 'magical helper' is found along the way and wisdom is learned in the depths. In Chris Erdman's lyrical tale, a once-abused child, now a man, takes this ancient journey into the roots of the psyche (illustrated with Zen-like drawings), learning--as we all must learn in times of deep despair--that there is a way forward."--Marijane Osborn, author of Beowulf: a Verse Translation with Treasures of the Ancient North"Reminiscent of Dante's journey into the dark wood, Erdman's archetypal--and therefore deeply resonant--epic strikes chords at many levels. With stark yet alluring watercolors and evocative poetry, the author weaves an imaginative and powerful tapestry of 'sacred alchemy' in 'darkened roots.' Devastating. And lovely."--Sheri D. Kling, author of A Process Spirituality: Christian and Transreligious Resources for Transformation"A mythic story for our time. 'Avoidance of the dark will never heal'. We no longer find renewal by reaching for the heights, but by going into the depths, to access the sources and roots of our being. This insightful and delightful work, with evocative illustrations and lucid poetry, listens to the cry from the depths, and tells the story of one who responds to the spiritual imperative of our era."--David Tacey, Professor of Literature, La Trobe University, Australia About the Author Chris Erdman is a spiritual teacher and guide with more than three decades of experience helping people find full, flourishing, and meaningful lives. He serves as senior pastor at the Davis Community Church in Davis, California. The author of four books and numerous articles, he can be found at chriserdman.com.
