The Jewels Of Here And Now

Best-selling author, Ragini Elizabeth Michaels, offers a companion to her earlier book - The Wildly Quiet Presence Of God. Simple, profound, and humorous musings are paired with beautiful images to comprise a total of 48 insightful contemplations. The Jewels Of Here And Now offers an inspiring way to restore your emotional balance amidst the chaos and turbulence of our fast paced digital age. As the stress of modern life increases, our desire for relief, sanity, and balance is growing exponentially. These offerings are sure to satisfy those of us yearning for a sip of Divine beauty, or a taste of the sweet courage and faith that rests within us all. It seems these longings are chomping at the bit these days - ready to jump into action in the only place they can - the Here and Now. This book is designed with the hope it will help you find your way there. They are offered to the reader via four sections, each carrying a specific theme: Whispers Of Joy, In Plain Sight, Glimpses of Grandeur, and The Gifts Of Letting Go. Each section is comprised of 12 musings.A stunning image accompanies each poem that often provided the inspiration for the words that ultimately arose. Although all of the images were available without attribution or cost, Ragini includes Photo Credits to honor the unselfishness and creativity of each artist, as well as the way to contact them if the reader so desires. This newest offering makes an excellent gift book for a family member or friend. Or, keep it just for your own enjoyment. Ragini’s musings are easy and quick to read, and the book itself is beautiful enough to garner that lovely resting spot on your living room coffee table. Or, if you prefer, place it by your bed for a quick glimpse of calming inspiration before you go to sleep. Or, reach for it when you awaken in the morning to help you prepare to greet the ‘here and now’ throughout your day.Twelve years ago Ragini began creating a yearly calendar for her friends, family, and students enrolled in her Wisdom School for Paradoxical Living. She created and ran this private training institute in Seattle, Washington from 2000 to 2010. The calendar originally offered poems from the mystics being studied in the Wisdom School. But eventually, at the request of others, she began to offer her own writing. After accumulating over 100 of these contemplations in the form of poetic prose, she was asked to put them into a book. The Jewels Of Here And Now is her second effort to eventually make all of the now 144 musings available in book form. Every musing surfaced from Ragini’s contemplation on the mystery and wonder of some aspect of ordinary life.
