Where do we find wisdom? In great books? In difficult ascetic practice? In some cases, yes. But wisdom lies too in a heightened awareness of ourselves, of others and of the world around us. This book offers "practical steps to spiritual growth", essays and exercise to lead you, not away from the world, but deeper into it and yourself.

Says J. C. Bretto, "This book is not a book of wisdom; that is, it is not a book of sayings, of declarations, of definitive statements. It is a book of questions, of investigations, of attempts. It is meant, not to teach you, but to take you down roads where you may teach yourself."

Six chapters - "Letting Go", "Who You Are", "Shadows", "Welcome to the Present", "Opening to Others" and "Act" - invite you to look more closely at yourself and the world and people around you and how you interact with them. To awake, step by step, thought by thought, the capacity for wisdom and spiritual growth within yourself.
