~ (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

A good poem can hold the universe in a few words. This collection of Bert Hellinger's aphorisms and stories shows what happens when a healer's mind works with a poet's pen. Single truths become manifold. Small affirmations take on great power. Soothing stories carry tough messages. And sometimes reality gets turned absolutely upside down, and though we may squirm in our seats, we understand something more than we did before.
