IN THE TRADITION OF EMERSON, THOREAU, AND WHITMAN

James Dillet Freeman is a poet, an essayist, a philosopher, a teacher, and this book is a beautifully arranged collection of his writings. From the very beginning, he lifts the reader up into a spiritual plane. Each essay in this collection is bound to touch some individual's heart. I have several favorites that especially touched me. "You Are Not Alone" is such a loving reaching out to anybody presently in any kind of pain, an article to give the feeling of oneness with God. "The Evolution of the God Idea" is theology, maybe, but at it's most personal and poetic level."A Conversation with a Mayfly" is Freeman at his best, using a gentle humor and fancy in a very deeply philosophical discussion between the poet and the mayfly."The Seed and the Harvest" is one of several of his writings, taken from his love for gardening, and finding Truth in his beloved garden."Because He Is Love" is a help to feeling a truly personal relationship with the being of God."If Your Heart Condemn You" has much to help one who has trouble forgiving the self for past error."The Four Causes of Health" is for he who needs any form of healing, in any area of life."Hymn For A Sunrise Service" is a celebration of life.The last piece in the book, "Today Is Forever, Forever Today" concludes with the beautiful story of the little saint, a story also told on Freeman's audiotape, "Angels Sing In Me" (which I have reviewed.These are all beautiful pieces to touch heart and soul.
