by David Adam (Author)
Writing from lived experience as much as knowledge, David Adam conveys a delight in the mystery of being that is deeply attractive.
Love the World opens by looking at the beginning of the universe, then moves on to the earth's atmosphere, themiracle of water and things that we often take for granted but are essential for our health and happiness. It focuses on our relationship with the world and encourages us to reflect on what really matters:
In our most fragile moments we know that we are of dust and to dust we shall return, but in our depths, we know there is more. We are not created out of nothing but out of love. The very source of your being is love.
This beautifully written book aims to increase our love for the world through reflecting on what we have discovered about it, and using this as a basis for further meditation and spiritual enrichment. It opens by looking at the beginning of the universe and the mystery of being, then moves on to our world, its atmosphere, the miracle of water, and things we often take for granted but are essential to our health and happiness. Finally, it focuses on our relationship to the earth.
Each section offers a short introduction, based on scientific discovery, a meditation, and an exercise in awareness and sensitivity.
