Book Review: A Hidden Wholeness; the journey toward an undivided life, by Parker Palmer
The divided life, according to Palmer, is the one we learn. Our inner life stays inside, and our outer one goes out into the world. There is often a rigid wall between the two. Here he gives us specific suggestions for creating a small community in which we can express our inner life honestly, with no one offering advice or trying to “fix it.”This is an extraordinary resource, and I think it would be most effective with a group in which there was potential for dissension or which had members who had rarely had a chance to express themselves freely in a non-threatening space.
