About this listen

"Life sometimes is hard. There are challenges. There are difficulties. There is pain. As a younger man I sought to avoid them and only ever caused myself more of the same. These days I choose to face life head on - and I have become a comet. I arc across the sky of my life and the harder times are the friction that lets the worn and tired bits drop away. It's a good way to travel; eventually I will wear away all resistance until all there is left of me is light. I can live towards that end." (Richard Wagamese, Embers)

In this carefully curated selection of everyday reflections, Richard Wagamese finds lessons in both the mundane and sublime as he muses on the universe, drawing inspiration from working in the bush-sawing and cutting and stacking wood for winter as well as the smudge ceremony to bring him closer to the Creator. Embers is perhaps Richard Wagamese's most personal volume to date. Honest, evocative, and articulate, he explores the various manifestations of grief, joy, recovery, beauty, gratitude, physicality, and spirituality-concepts many find hard to express. But for Wagamese, spirituality is multifaceted. From this audiobook, listeners will find hard-won and concrete wisdom on how to feel the joy in the everyday things. Wagamese does not seek to be a teacher or guru, but these observations made along his own journey to become, as he says, "a spiritual bad-ass," make inspiring listening.

A gem of a little book! I listen to it often- it serves as a form of meditation for me. And the narration is superb- as though the author himself were reading it.

Wonderful!

I happened to come across this book at the most perfect timing, and as the author Richard Wagamese explains in these beautiful lessons, sometimes it is those magical little paths we encounter and special small moments that can take us to the most unexpected healing places in life. One of my best friends just passed away last week, and this book has been a very great comfort to my heart. Richard’s experiences and teachings about our spirits within and the connections we have outwards into all reaches of the universe, time, and space are deeply inspiring and soothing to the soul. I will most definitely be adding this to my list of absolute favorite audiobooks I’ve ever found. Thank you Richard for these beautiful lessons, and may your own spirit soar to the most wondrous of heights in The Great Beyond.
