What a wonderful book! I don't know where to start ... with a relish for words, absolute gentleness, and readily apparent experience, Ms. Howell opens a door into the universe. But rather than dictate the truth, she simply shares the truths she and her husband discovered while visiting the island of Iona. At the end, you are left with courage, inspiration, hope, and an appendix full of exercises - because she can't (and wouldn't, even if she could) give you the answers; you must discover them yourself.

I've already recommended this book to several people. And I have no doubts that it will stay on my very short list of highly recommended books.

With its humble wit and universal wisdom, this is a treasure of a book. Full of numerous insights from Jung, Sophia and "sacred geometry", one can't help but feel more whole by the end of this book...and yet thirsting for more. Clearly Ms. Howell has found her path and we are all the more for her ability to share it.

I recommend it to anyone on any kind of a spiritual path. It may not be THE answer, but it's a part of it.

This tedious, tiresome book offers nothing new. It just dilly-dallies along. Here's a point, here's a line, here's a triangle, here's a square, here's nothing worth presenting. Jung says, you say, he said, I said. . . My review is about as poorly crafted as the book. I expected something and got a pretty cover.
