I just finished reading an amazing tale of spiritual emergence! It won’t be released until April 2009, but here’s the scoop:
I got a pre-printed manuscript to write a review for The Healing Path which will be published in the March/April issue. I occasionally also write articles for them. This month they published my article on SAD (seasonal affective disorder).
Scott Blum is a very interesting character no matter what your take on spiritual issues. He will not reveal whether his new book: Waiting for Autumn is autobiographical. If it is or isn’t, it still shows a powerful imagination, and provides plenty of food for thought!
This is the story of a man who feels completely lost in his life. After numerous job losses in L.A. he decides to leave town and drive up north. When his car dies near Ashland, Oregon, he decides that is “a sign”, sells his car and settles down in Ashland for the summer to regroup.
There he meets a homeless man near the front door of his local food co-op and his spiritual journey begins by talking to Robert and trusting his guidance. Get ready for a wild ride of grief, soul retrieval, ancestral healing, personal transformation, renewed trust, and some parallel universe wanderings.
This book is not my usual reading fare, but I loved experiencing Scott’s adventure with him. He made it easy for me to let go of my attachment to “reality” for just a few hours, and imagine a world so much larger than what we see in the here and now.
For unexplainable reasons, he gave me new hope for my future and set my spirit free!
