The Calm Center
Reflections and Meditations for Spiritual Awakening

Description
UK-based Steve Taylor has caught the eye of US -- and international -- audiences because of his ability to make enlightenment if not easy, at least accessible. The simple, stirring, and poetic reflections here comfort, inspire, and gently bring readers out of the harried, hectic day-to-day and back to the bedrock of peace, and even joy, of our true, essential, and authentic selves. He shows how this is possible when we direct our awareness out of chaos and into calm. In so doing we learn to access the present moment of any day and as Taylor writes, "When the future is full of dread and the past full of regret, where can you take refuge except the present?"
