The Cabin Kindle Edition

by Munira Judith Avinger (Author) Format: Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions

When Judith Avinger drove out of Bellingham, Washington, in her white Honda, on her way to a new life in Quebec, Canada, she knew, of course, that she was going to a different country, and to a province with a different language, but she also felt she was looking for something else, something elusive, something she couldn't define. What she found was a new family, a spiritual path, a new name (Munira) and the vision of a cabin in the forest, a cabin she eventually built in the Eastern Townships of Quebec.

The Cabin is the story of how she dreamed that cabin into existence. But it's also the story of her deep connection to the people and places she left behind and her trips back and forth between the east and the west coasts. She began writing this memoir the day she left Bellingham, recording each day's adventures in her journal. Nearly 20 years later, it is finally finished.

Like any memoir, The Cabin isn't just a story; it's also a reflection on life's journey, which brings the past and the present into focus and explores the decisions that lead to major turning points. Munira is one of today's nomads, free to move from place to place thanks to the speed of modern transportation but often troubled by feelings of displacement. In The Cabin, the author describes her struggle to adjust to the life she has created for herself and her discovery, through her travels, writings and meditations, that she can redefine and extend her awareness of what it means to feel at home.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.
In 1990, Munira Judith Avinger moved from Bellingham, WA, to the province of Quebec where she built a cabin in the forest and wrote several books, the latest of which is a memoir called The Cabin.
Munira has made an in-depth study of several spiritual traditions, including Yoga and Sufism. She enjoys going out into the world to give poetry readings, teach writing workshops and lead the Dances of Universal Peace. The time she values the most, however, is spent working in her organic garden, watching the buds open in the spring and the leaves fall in the autumn or sitting by the window in the winter meditating on the moonlight shining through the icicles hanging from the roof of her cabin.

Places Within

Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2013

Yvonne Trainer: This is one of the most moving memoirs I've read in a long time. It gives insight into the minds of those of us who spend all our lives moving, seeking the notion of a physical home, while all the while being aware that for some of us home is a state/a province within that cannot be defined by physical space. I recommend it to all seekers who are constantly travelling through this vast expanse of landscape and time.

Spritual Explorer's Chronicle

Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2013

Written with crystalline clarity and finely focused detail, The Cabin is Munira Judith Avinger's startlingly honest and unpretentious memoir of the twenty years that follow her courageous decision, in 1990, to leave her former life 3,000 miles behind - friends, ex-husbands and two adult children - and begin anew in eastern Canada. There, she builds herself a cabin in the woods in which to live in solitude and contemplation, intent on this deliberate goal: "Now I'm going to find out who I really am."
But, of course, her life becomes much more than solitary contemplation, as old relationships evolve, new relationships form and the emptiness she had consciously created fills with a profound sense of spirituality and connectedness to all around her.
An exemplary chronicle of one psychic explorer's journey into the unknown future. As she writes, "...our plans are like mist on the water - they dissolve as life relentlessly pursues its own path."

Appreciation for "The Cabin"

Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2014

Munira Judith is adept in interpersonal and family adjustments as well as in meditational practices and meaningful dream interpretations which help keep her on course through two tumultuous decades. “Munira” is her Sufi name, and she might as well have taken a Hindu name, too, for the meaning she finds in Shiva. She embodies what late 20th century commentators called “The New Age Spirituality.” The physical cabin in the forest near Montreal, from which she draws the book title, gradually accumulates meaning as both a spiritual and a physical home. The tug and pull she experiences between her West Coast family and her newfound soul-mates in Quebec provides suspense from page one to the last chapter. A careful observer, she excels in description of her physical surroundings. For instance, she provides picture-perfect images of Puget Sound and surrounding mountains she viewed on her Amtrak trip from Seattle to Vancouver. Recommended especially for Northwesterners and practitioners of meditation.
