We long for connection in the midst of our disconnected lives. Connections to ourselves…to others…to the world we live in. We ache for the touch of the sacred. In The Circle of Life, Joyce Rupp and Macrina Wiederkehr show us a way to connect with life’s sacred center.

Beginning with an overview of the four seasons together, then focusing on each season in turn, the authors encourage us to reflect on and celebrate the turning patterns of Earth and of the human spirit. We need only open our eyes and look at the seasons as they unfold before us. They will teach us. Their changing colors reveal a light that is unchanging. Their movements flow through and shape us.

Using reflections, poems, prayers, and meditations, The Circle of Life, invites us to listen carefully and closely to the wisdom of each season. Exploring the relationship between the external and internal seasons of our lives helps us discover that each season is a stepping stone in the great circle of life, guiding us along our life journey.
