Our Inherited Wisdom: 54 Inspirations from Nature & Poetry
Description
Our Inherited Wisdom offers delightful insight into and nourishment for our individual and collective spirit. Author Kate Vogt inspires us to slow down, look, and listen in the midst of our busy lives. In 54 short reflections and practices, she reveals the brilliance of the divine intelligence woven into all aspects of our lives--in our attitudes, sensory experiences, and relationships. It exists as well as in our planetary kin, such as the rivers, oceans, flora and fauna. For the contemplative, Kate unveils the pathway of awareness from material reality to the subtlest experiences of infinite light and love. For the social and ecological activist, she suggests that the path to lasting change begins with practicing deep gratitude for life as the birthright of all beings. For the everyday person, she shows how wisdom is revealed in ordinary moments. She invites all to live with more respect and reverence every day.

Reviews
"With elegance, Kate interweaves the best of world poetry with images, personal reflection, and meditation instructions. This book will enhance every salon who embraces its wisdom as part of a weekly study group, every Yoga class, every university classroom that uses this resource as a way of centering students. Sublime!"
Christopher Key Chapple, PhD; Author, "In Praise of Mother Earth: The Pṛihivī Sūkta of the Atharva Veda" and others; Doshi Professor of Indic and Comparative Theology, Loyola Marymount University
"Kate's writing illuminates the deep yet often ignored healing power embedded in communing directly with animals, sky, water, plants, and aspects of ourselves. It's easier than ever for 21st century humans to overlook or lose sight of what's true and essential. These grace-filled pages will call you back again and again when you need to remember."
Sharon Rosen, Author, "Crazy World, Peaceful Heart"; Healer and Coach
"Kate Vogt's persuasive reflections testify that she is here to gently, but firmly, guide our distracted and lost souls back home, not just for our sake and deep healing, but also for the sake of our teetering Earth Mother, our kin and all future generations."
