Summary: Absorbing reading
Review: This is a reader that John Welwood compiled when writing his excellent 'Journey of the Heart'. As he says, helpful writings on relationships are relatively rare, and I found this collection most absorbing. Sometimes successive authors have messages that seem to contradict each other, and yet each has something helpful to say and I find myself agreeing with both! D H Lawrence is as Welwood says 'annoyingly polemic' but is worth reading, and Rilke's passages from 'Letters to a Young Poet' are classic. Welwood ranges wide. I was interested to find a piece by J K Bennett, an English 'guru' whom I met once, in 1963, and I was moved by the contribution of Elizabeth Bugenthal. I sometimes lend this book to friends and it takes a long time to get it back!
