The Dance

Moving to the Deep Rhythms of Your Life

by Oriah Mountain Dreamer

Published 2001, 2006

Find out more about the book here.

Check out Oriah Mountain Dreamer's website.

 

Below are a couple of extracts from the book:

Chapter 2, Dancing with the Mystery, p. 27-28

"This is all I really know: 

there is a presence that is larger than myself that has been with me all my life.

I experience this presence as loving, and in some essential way it is what I am.

Many of the people I know experience this presence in their lives in ways

they would never label spiritual—by the way they see and cherish all that

is green and alive on the planet, through their participation in the ecstatic

struggle of creativity, by giving themselves to a greater beauty

in shape or colour or sound or word. Some longing within us is met

when we participate in the beauty of creation by really paying attention. 

It connects us to the presence of that which is unnameable.

Beneath all our longings, the ache within the ache is a soul-deep desire to live

with an awareness of this presence that is larger than ourselves,

every moment."

 

Chapter 10, The Song, p. 151

"To dream is to create the stories of how we live our lives,

and these are the stories our children's children will remember.

I write with as much honesty and frankness as I can,

because I want to offer stories of being present with what is.

I recite poetry when I speak, because I want to offer

beauty and the power of art to remind us of who and what we are.

I share personal stories, because I want to co-create a story of intimacy

and cultivate our capacity for compassion in dealing with our human failings.

I tell love stories because I want to learn how to love well."

The Rainbow Fish

Written and illustrated by Marcus Pfister

Published 1998

Learn about how The Rainbow Fish book was created here.

Watch and listen to The Rainbow Fish read by Marcus Pfister. 

 

Below is a short extract from the book:

"A long way out in the deep blue sea there lived a fish.

Not just an ordinary fish, but the most beautiful fish in the entire ocean.

His scales were every shade of blue and green and purple,

with sparkling silver scales among them.

 

The other fish were amazed at his beauty.

They called him Rainbow Fish.

 "Come on, Rainbow Fish," they would call, "Come and play with us!"

But the Rainbow Fish would just glide past, proud and silent, letting his scales shimmer."
