Light Looking at Itself: Eight Short Stories [Paperback]

Dawn Thompson (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 11, 2003

When light looks at itself, what does it see? Maybe a fat man eating to fill a lonely heart. Maybe a bored office worker who finally ventures outside to find herself. Perhaps a grieving husband making a choice about where to go next, a girl returning home after surviving a suicide attempt, a homeless person meeting a compassionate stranger, a woman finding her way through love's affronts and contradictions to its moments of grace. What roads does the soul take and what landscapes does it pass through on its journey to freedom? How does the river of change and growth, death and rebirth, move through a life? How does the world we experience reflect either the shadows of the false self or the divine light of the authentic self? Dawn Thompson's stories illuminate the cages we construct for ourselves and the whispers that urge us to break out.
