Shells from the Mountain
In a similar genre expressed by Anne Morrow Lindbergh in her book "Gift From the Sea" the messages of seashells inspire Annie Horkan on a journey around the mandala of life. Specific shells prompt her to both listen and reflect on the wisdom heard into which she weaves her own voice and truth defined by a depth of spirit and passionate heart. The author engages us into a circle dance, in which to celebrate our innate wild and sacred connections to our innermost selves and to all life. Our sacred, wild souls reflect the vibrations of both our inner light and shadows with which to create a reality that either sustains or destroys life. If humanity is to collectively create a world in which we live in harmony with one another and Nature, we must individually find the beauty, wisdom, and truth within our own shell.
