Book Reviews of Being Home: Discovering the Spiritual in the Everyday
Book Review: The intro is the best part
Summary: 4 Stars
I enjoyed this book and the photography in it. But honestly, some of the poetry just seemed a wee bit contrived to me... as if Norris HAD to find something holy in the act of locking a door or shoveling.
There are parts of it that are very well written, I love reading her prefaces and such in all her books. And parts of the actual prose was meaningful for me. But I'm glad it was just a library book.
A note: I got this book thinking it spoke to a strictly Catholic spirituality... it does not. Elements of her writing lead me to believe there was a Catholic influence but she speaks in much more universal tones... even new-agey at times.
Still there is nothing TOTALLY objectionable to most faiths unless one is offended by her referring to her "single-celled ancestors."
I was still able to glean some nice meditation points from this book.
