EARTHTALKS
"
on the Spirit Journey is a collection
of talks given by Charles Finn to the congregations of two churches in the Roanoke
Valley, Unity and Divine Sciences,
between 1983 and 1997. While Finn’s own
sense is that these talks are religious to the core, they do not espouse any
particular creed or dogma (not surprisingly, the churches inviting him to speak
incline away from doctrinal orthodoxy).
Enough of the talks touch directly upon natural phenomena, and contain
passing if not extensive reference to Native American spirituality, to warrant
the inclusion of Earth in the title.
Those understanding life to be a
journey of spirit - grounded in wonder, deepening in trust, circle of inclusion
ever widening, in and out of darkness and light, of seeking and finding and
losing and seeking anew, of dying and being reborn - may resonate with the
conjectures that follow from a companion on the stupendous journey.
