Read these stories and see deep within yourself! --STEVE BRATMAN, MD, author of The Natural Health Bible Like icebergs floating in the sea--only partially visible to others and ourselves--a good part of what goes on in us lies beneath awareness. It helps to connect with the deep layer of fears and desires that shape us. Not to shed light where darkness is appropriate, but to glimpse the forces that make us who we are. When they are handled carefully, images span the gap between the dark unknown and the concerns of living. The bridge, the dialogue, and the connection are all healing. This book can help you make those connections, offering relief from the stresses and conflicts of living. --THOMAS MOORE, author of A Life at Work
