My Indulgent Interior Life—Seasons of the Deep: Contemplative Prose Poetry Ending with Amen
Ebook
An indulgent interior life is an impassioned prayer life--alive with questions, and wonder, and prayerful conversations with God. And it is driven by a decidedly seeking spirit.
My Indulgent Interior Life is a seasons-based prose and photography collection--a collage of works curated for the contemplative soul. Spacious, intensely colorful and deep, its pages breathe wonder, beckoning you into your interior-most depths.
Come! Open this book! Open yourself, body, mind, and spirit, and breeze gently into a deeply contemplative space where time blissfully lingers, where time literally stands still. Let nuances of humility, authenticity, and clarity of thought grace your very being. Let new perspectives and ancient Celtic wisdom stir you into your own questions and queries. May you be awed into prayer. May you be awed into the breath of Amen.
“Immediately upon opening My Indulgent Interior Life, I was transported on a walk of meditative and thought-provoking forest bathing without leaving the comfort of home. A wonderfully therapeutic read, one page after another.”
—Edite Sammons, educator
“Reading this book is like a joyous romp, waking up your imagination to things unseen. In words of refreshment for your tired soul, Janis Constable opens up doors to the heart that you forgot were there. Her words cascade across the page, compelling you, besotting you, until you close the book with a hushed amen.”
—Elizabeth Cunningham, minister, United Church of Canada
“Janis Constable gently prays through the four seasons with sensitivity in lyrical word. Her poems are paired with exquisite images—‘photos with soul’—transporting her words into new dimensions of self-connection and self-reflection. This book is an awakening. It is a call into the wonders of contemplative prayer. Truly a healing read.”
—Carole Beam, retired parish nurse
“Everything about this book is approachable—it invites us into a journey of life-giving discovery. Janis Constable listens, notices, feels, and imagines her way through the natural and spiritual worlds, with a colorful take on the interconnectedness of all creation. Step in and find your place!”
—Peter Sullivan, educator
