by Dami Roelse (Author)
To face the impossible realities of dealing with a degenerative disease her husband slowly succumbs to, Dami Roelse takes you across three continents, through the baking heat of deserts and the cold of Himalayan snowstorms as she wrestles with the teachings about the cause of suffering and the attainment of universal love from spiritual teachers she met in her earlier life.
Dami was "born a seeker and a wanderer" and her travels form the framework for her inner journey. From a comfortable, conventional European childhood, via meditation centers and ashrams with some of the great teachers of the seventies, S.N. Goenka, Neem Karoli Baba, and Ram Dass, to communities in the USA and back to the wild places of the Himalaya, the journey etches itself onto her spirit.
Dami has to face her husband's character changes and his rejection of her caring. On her journey in Ladakh she finds the inner freedom to "fly free" while holding onto her wedding vows.
This memoir addresses some of the more difficult issues of multi generational family love and the demands of caring, so relevant to many of us - women and men - today. It showcases the work of "walking" the spiritual path.
