Meister Eckhart (1260-1328) was a priest, a mystic, and nearly a heretic (he died before the Church court's verdict). In the 20th century, the Roman Catholic Church rehabilitated him and the late Pope John Paul II spoke of his work with fondness. However, what makes him of particular interest is the fact that he has influenced a wide range of spiritual teachers and mystics both inside and outside the Christian tradition. Erich Fromm, Eckhart Tolle, Richard Rohr, D. T. Suzuki, and Rudolf Steiner have all credited Eckhart as being an important influence on their thought.

He had it all—except his health. Bob Schott had virtually nothing: a simplistic job, very little money or friends, and poor health. What Bob did have was the girl of his dreams, who was not only the love of his life but also his best friend. Between the two, they had each other, but not much else.

I see and hear the evil that people do. All these things ache my heart.

Howdy, y'all, my name is Beatrice Lawson. You might be wondering, how does a little girl have so much hatred against Blacks? Well, let me explain that to you. It all started with my great-grandfather Michael in 1876. Grandpa Michael owned a plantation called "Willow Manor". My father and grandfather told me that he fell in love with a Black woman who only used him to be set free, and that's where my feelings of hatred for Black people began. Now, have Black people ever done a thing to me? No, but they messed with my family, and you just don't do that in my book.

These three stories come with a breath of cold and a sort of longing, the sort of thing that consumes someone if they let it. "Wendy Won't Go" is the story of a family whose loss threatens to consume them all, "Love like Blood" is a story about the limits one will reach before love is gone, and "Cold Comfort" is about the bitterness that devours us within before it goes on to consume everything around us.

Nature, people memories. Past and future history. The inner and outer worlds. Hope and despair.
