Overview

In WHOLENESS, a Wising Up Anthology, forty-eight talented writers of different ages, countries, ethnicities, and religions explore the experience of wholeness and its impact on our lives through poetry, fiction, memoir, non-fiction, and image.Wholeness is an emergent phenomena, real as life, breath, consciousness-and, like them, can't be explained or predicted by its component parts. It's that something more that heals and reveals possibilities we could not see before. It can hold opposites, reconcile what seems completely incompatible. It can change what follows in ways we never imagined. When and where have we experienced a sense of wholeness? How did we recognize it? How did it shift our ways of being in ourselves, with each other, and with what lies beyond? Can it be described? Shared? Does it require a sense of wonder-or create it?
