worthy reading

Recorded wisdom. Voices from the ancients. Worthy book to have on one's shelf! Open to any page/chapter and uplifting, timeless truths graciously imbeds the heart, soul and mind.

Hymns, poems and haiku of the earth.

This is an unbelievably well written (and researched) investigation into the sources and manifestations of the spirit on our earth. The similarities between cultures on different continents proves, to me at least, that there is some form of communication and thought that is tracendent, above us, or beyond our normal thinking. The book chronicles the search for truth and the meaning of life by more tribes and cultures than you probably knew existed. Particularly interesting to me were the aboriginal people of Australia, and how they were so similar to those of North and South America
