Book update

I got a couple of nice notes today about the books from nuns in New York and New Hampshire. I think the New Hampshire monastery must be the one that bought the three copies of each book recently.

Anyway, it is encouraging to hear kind things from readers.

One thing that amused me was that Sr. Rita (Beacon, NY) was struck by the use of the small raven figures at the end of chapters and on otherwise blank pages in the Elijah book. That was just a way to fill "white space", but for her it was significant.

Who knew?

In fact, the raven is the equivalent of the letter B in a font named Animals. Since it is not an actual image of a raven, I cannot show it on the blog because it would just be a B, at least on blogs that don't have the Animals font loaded. And why would you?

I would like to have used this image of the raven, but it is an animal totem from this site on the internet and I assume it is copyrighted. Very nice, though, and it is said there that

"The raven shows us how to go into the dark
of our inner self and bring out the light of our true self;
resolving inner conflicts which have long been buried.
This is the deepest power of healing we can possess."
