So what might my cat Livvie teach me about spirituality? Quite a lot, says Sweeney. Thoughtful lessons fill the pages from “Surrender to Relax” to “Pounce Frequently.” The former: We rarely are taught how to relax. As Sweeney laments this, he suggests how surrender might be synonymous with relaxation.

“Within each of us is a divine treasure, and if we hope to discover it we need to go deep into the heart of who we are.” “To find that treasure requires that we work like a wood carver who does not work by adding but by cutting away, removing what is rough to reveal what shimmers from within.” — Meister Eckhart We invite you to join Jon M. Sweeney, S&P’s Contributing Editor for Books and New Media, for a month of discovery with Meister Eckhart.
