The Fantasy of JRR Tolkien -...

Robert J. Dobie, Bradley J. Birzer

At the heart of Tolkienian fantasy is "recovery," a "cleaning of the windows" of our perception that we may learn to see the world again in all its strange beauty. And, for Tolkien, to recover the world anew is to recover a sense of the world as a meaningful act of creation by a living and loving Creator. How does Tolkien accomplish this? Through "sub-creation" or mythopoeia, the "fashioning of myth." For it is in creating an imaginary world ourselves through poetry, fairy-story, and myth that we come to "see" our "primary world" as itself an act of creation. In short, mythopoetic creation, far from being "lies breathed through silver," uncovers for us the truth of our world as a story of creation. 
 
 
 
This book demonstrates not only the centrality of recovery to Tolkien's fantasy but the way in which his fantasy affects that primal recovery in every reader. It reveals the marvelous philosophical and theological riches that underlie Tolkien's fantasy and shows how his mythopoetic fiction allows the recovery and enactment of these riches in our own lives. The book shows how for Tolkien fantasy has within itself a healing power through which intellectual, moral, and existential paradoxes are resolved and our intellectual and perceptual faculties are made whole again so that they may participate with renewed vigor in the life-giving work of creation of every sort.

Dandelions Blooming in the...

Amita Lhamo

So often, the thought of death evokes our worst fears. We anticipate the opposite of anything we call living. Yet, something different happens when we invite death into the conversation. It enters a panoply of experience that includes gratitude, love, joy and wonder. Death reveals these gifts as often as tragedy and pain.  
Amita Lhamo uses her luminous stories to reveal the power of simple human kindness and the profundity of being.  
Within such places, souls peek through the soft spaces of broken hearts like dandelions blooming in the cracks of sidewalks. No matter which way we turn, we find one garden, one ground—we discover the wonder of any heart.  
What dies was never really ours to keep anyway. What is deathless has been our true nature all along. No one can ever separate us from that—it is we who forget about it. At any moment, in any circumstance, there can be a remembering, a glimpse, a realization. These precious stories tell of such moments on the journey, told by one with an unbound love and courage to have accompanied so many on their way. Lama Drimed Norbu
