Spiritual Shortcut: Forty Poems for Finding Peace and Feeling Loved

Spiritual Shortcut is a heartfelt forty-day devotional for modern life, and a thoughtful gift for yourself or someone who could use some peace at a moment's notice. Written during a forty-day Sufi practice by an American tech entrepreneur, pilot, and dad who unexpectedly fell deeply in love with God while writing them down, each poem captures a moment of finding the divine in the middle of an otherwise very modern life. Designed to be a beautiful object inside and out, its poems about God, love, surrender and awe are complemented by one of the many most loving names of God, written in Arabic, adding to the book's mystical and artistic feel. Keep it beside your bed, leave it on a coffee table, or open it when your nervous system is buzzing and life feels a little too loud. No particular belief is required to relate, even though the poems draw freely from Sufism, Buddhism, meditation, and the author's lived experience. And the poems are just the beginning. The closing section contains the author's personal recipe for Spiritual Goodness, the ideas and practices that helped him become so much more alive, awake, and sustainably happy. While the section is short and simple, its little summaries point the reader to the very lines of inquiry that sparked the author's most profound journeys... perhaps they may for you, too. This book is a wonderful gift for yourself, someone you love, or to lay wait in your space to suddenly delight those who might visit. Open it for a moment and you may find your heart smiling.
