Being a mystic is not as hard as you may think. Many of the sayings in this collection come from spiritual masters in ordinary walks of life. The readings are arranged by theme and are chosen from Joan Chittister, T.S. Elliot, Edwina Gately, Benedict Groeschel, Anselm Gruen, C.S. Lewis, Thomas Merton, Henri Nouwen and Joyce Rupp, just to name a few. "Here's the interesting, the tough, the beautiful truth: joy and sorrow come from the same place. It is only what we love, in other words, that can really make us suffer. So if you want to know from where your hard spots in life will come, just ask yourself what you really love the most. Be honest: REALLY love. It's there in that place alone where loss and lessons wait." - Joan Chittister: The Psalms
