"... we are each our own greatest mystery,
and our life's work is to solve ourselves."
A WELL TEMPERED HEART
Jan ~ Philipp Sendker
There is nothing like a great book where one can get lost and wander in someone elses adventure. It is an especially wonderful read if it leaves the reader feeling calm, hopeful, and at peace.
Some time ago, I read the book, THE ART OF HEARING HEARTBEATS by Jan~Philipp Sendker and found myself enchanted. Now the author has extended the story into another book, A WELL TEMPERED HEART. It has warmed my heart and touched my very soul.
It is not a story of romance, but of an unexplicable love human beings can experience when we allow another to 'soothe a troubled spirit and make a loving and lovable soul.' One of the characters shares, "I speak of a love a love that brings sight to the blind. Of a love stronger than fear. I speak of a love that breathes meaning into life ..."
This sometimes harsh story is wrapped in delicate exchanges, spoken and unspoken instilling the hope that one can refine the tune of the heart. It is a story within a story weaving a thread most anyone could weave. It encourages us to shed our fear to discover the personal truth residing within each one of us, resulting in A WELL TEMPERED HEART.
