More Description

The arc of this book is the path of thoughts and actions followed to arrive at a destination not certain at the start of the journey.The entries represent related thoughts over a long period of time as they are triggered by either going to Friends' Meeting or in other spiritual activities; e.g., the spirit group at the Church of Universal Fellowship or other meditative classes such as the Senior College mysticism class.This book yields a contemplative presentation, possibly what happens for many people in meditation. It fits a thoughtful approach as is found in the Quaker method of thinking. I start out as a curious investigator, wanting to test Silent Meeting to see if I can learn to live with latent anger, and after some time I take the plunge and become an official member of the Society of Friends. Along the way I learn many things as I become embroiled in supporting and helping to keep the Meeting alive.It was a long but steady journey.Finally, it is my hope that the thoughts presented in this book prove to be interesting to other readers and that they will be helpful to those who find themselves walking a similar path.
