'Don't miss your life!' July 11, 2008
Barbara Buda (Scotland)
`A single thought presented itself to me. A vital part of me is slipping beyond my reach. If I don't change my life, I will lose myself altogether... How had I allowed myself to fall into such a small place?' This is a book for all those who feel that there is a mysterious `more' to life.
With warmth and wisdom - born of a searing honesty - Paula D'Arcy lays before us some of the turning points in her own life: the tragic death of her husband and young daughter in the early years of marriage, her `listening-ear' ministry in a women's prison, therapeutic work with a troubled teenager, seeing with new eyes her ailing father and, perhaps most tellingly of all - in the face of her own instinct for professional self-preservation - a journey `living on the edge with Morrie' Schwartz, terminally ill, resolutely confrontational, and destined to star in Mitch Albom's book `Tuesdays with Morrie.'
Though each story reverberates uniquely, `Sacred Threshold' acquires its own voice: personal, yes; but also gently, disturbingly, objective! It phrases the questions we need to ask, especially at times of transition. Acting as sounding-board and soul-friend, it teases the hope from the fear when life `happens' beyond our control. If we do indeed `bury the very things that might set us free' (Stephen Levine) this book - not intentionally a workbook but serving the same purpose - sets out the terrain for a pilgrimage into the human heart. If we really want to know where love can take us, it is only from within that we can regain the freedom to live beyond the confines of our circumstances. `Thresholds demand a willingness to walk in new directions' - by learning to take in how life is already unfolding.
In recommending `Sacred Threshold' to friends I find myself describing it, invariably, as a book with energy! From its opening chapter - `Don't Miss Your Life' - there is a current that flows and can't be ignored. Blessedly devoid of psychobabble, this is a book that rings true. It has been lived, pondered; it comes as a gift from the heart. And after `the plowing, the planting, and the long, soaking rains,' what next? Sight unseen - am I willing to step through a doorway too?
