What Matters: Spiritual Nourishment for Head and Heart
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
After his nearly 100 years of seeking, Franck's reflections on what really matters will help you to savor what truly matters in your own life.
"Could the meaning of being born human be, to become Human?"
This elegantly simple book of reflections presents the rich harvest of a lifetime of thinking, feeling, and seeing by an artist whose vital spirituality has inspired hundreds of thousands of readers and students through his art, books, and workshops.
The pithy, sometimes humorous, always wise contemplations reveal Franck's lifelong confrontation with the human in himself and others.
Originally jotted down as reflections for himself and close friends, Franck's insights will challenge you to consider new ways of experiencing your spiritual path and to savor what truly matters.
From the Inside Flap
"The religious attitude to existence is rooted in wonder at the mystery of sheer Being, at being here at all, the axiomatic certainty that there is a Meaning in our being here, hence in total openness to It."
In this compact volume of reflections, Franck's own sensitive line drawings and witty ornaments enhance the pages, creating a visual vocabulary that, combined with his words, makes us not only think but see as well. At the age of ninety-four, Franck still writes about "that something of unfathomable depth: that specifically Human, that divine spark, known in the East as Buddha Nature, in the West as the Spirit of Christ." He says that spark is the criterion of what is truly human in us and allows us to recognize the Transcendent in all true paths.
"Wise, witty, compassionate observations jolt us awake to the wealth of our planetary heritage."
-Joanna Macy, author of Widening Circles and World as Lover, World as Self
"Franck's words are thrilling, especially as evidence of his vocation as one who brings things together."
