In the 1960s Ranchor Prime left home to find God. He has been searching through nature and the spirit ever since. In this beautiful book, he reflects on his journey and, one by one, introduces the reader to the eight elements of ancient Hindu cosmology. The book is illuminated by the author's own pencil drawings introducing each of the eight elements.
The gentle, flowing, beauty of the cover enticed me to read the book and happily the text reflects the mood of the cover. The author carried me along into his mid-life crisis that led him into a mystical exploration of the elements of nature. He explores each element and shows how it relates to life and love.
I found Ranchor's writing inviting and honest and I appreciated his straightforward assessment of his internal crisis and how he found his way out through self reflection and prayerful approach to the world. This is a really good book for anyone who values introspection! Wow, it has an index to boot.
