Symphonies of Theophanies: Moroccan Meditations - Hardcover

by Peter Dziedzic (Author)

The perennial human journey is the path of remembrance; the path of recalling creation's origins and of seeing the Divine root in all things. The Sufis of Morocco cultivate this attitude through dhikr, spiritual practices inculcating perpetual God-consciousness. For this reason, Morocco has become known as balad al-awliyāʾ, the land of saints. This collection of poetry, prose, and photography offers gleams of light and beauty from the balad al-awliyāʾ. Symphonies of Theophanies: Moroccan Meditations invites the reader to short meditations, a personal dhikr, through inspiration from the traditions of Moroccan Sufism, a shimmering mine of spiritual wisdom. In each instant lies the seeds of transcendence - a hidden theophany and a secret heartsong yearning for the heavens. This collection is a symphony of such moments, such heartsongs - a symphony of theophanies.
