Everyday Sacred - Review of Sue Bender's book

Everyday Sacred by Sue Bender looks at  on accepting what everyday has to offer and how everything is sacred and can be seen with new eyes if we are open to it.  


Her book is a must read for anyone who is questioning where they are at and where they are going and lets face it, that's probably most of us if we admit it. 


Take a look at the Table of Contents to see how she sets about showing us how to the journey home can be an amazing experience  - "are everyday things entitled to reverence ?" she asks in her first pages. 


Sue Bender draws on the empty begging bowl as a powerful and inspirational  metaphor for life and accepting whatever is placed in it.  
  
How many things do we take for granted, how many things do we just not see properly, how many things do we think will always be there until one day they are not ?   What is our reality ? Is it even important ? 


Discover where her journey leads and what insights she finds and you will question where your own life is leading you.
