It was not what I expected and the places traveled to here are even adventurous by my standards. It is more about alternative spirituality that occurs as a result of travel.Author: Anne Lamont, Maya Angelou and othersPublisher: Travelers' TalesCopyright: 2003Genre: Spirituality/Women's TravelPages: 243Date Read- 2/11/09 to 2/16/09Quotes__________p.xvIn the act of moving from one place to another, somehow a space is created where, if we're lucky, a moment of clarity alights on us and offers a win...
These short essays are easy reads. They are a joy to read in that they are the little glimpses into the magic of both spiritual connections and travel. Some of the writing is better than others. And in my opinion, Maya Angelou stands out as the best. I just adore her to begin with.
Interesting perspectives--the definition of "spiritual" gets a little stretched from time to time.
A real mix of the good, the bad, and the ugly in travel writing. Hip, hip, hooray for the short story format. More than one tale needed to come to an end in short order.
A solid anthology of women's spiritual writing (although, as some reader have noted, the genre of spiritual writing is stretched a bit in some of the essays).
This book is not just for women, it for anyone who enjoys exemplary writing about traveling the world to discover the world within.
Appropriately, "A Woman's Path," a collection of women's spiritual travel writing, was a Mother's Day gift from my daughter. I am a writer, too, frequently writing about my journeys across physical geography but equally spiritual terrain. Nothing explores us as much as our exploring of the world around us. Travel means a stretching of our personal comfort zones, as we leave our homes and our routines far behind. In the more than 30 essays in this collection, women of a wide array of backgrounds
Great little essays of travel.
Some really moving travel stories. Some were more mundane than expected, but many offered some real and new insight.
Had planned to use this as fodder for NaNoWriMo writing, but am enjoying it on its own merits.
This is a terrific book to read with a group of women. Our conversations have been rich and deep.
Inspiring, educational, geographically interesting, Social -human interest, this book has all this and more from a miraculous beginning to dealing with ones own demise. From Christian, Catholicism, Jewish Tradition, and also Hindu, Pagan, Buddhism, and New Age Spiritualism. Women Authors like Anne Lamott discuss the greatest spiritual awakenings and reaffirmations of their lives thus far. I love this and it's going back on my shelf for future references.
Some stories were very inspiring and some were not.
Some stories are quite good in this book of short stories.
I have to confess that I doubt I'm going to finish this one. This collection of essays promised to be entertaining and enlightening, but after reading 3/4 of the way through, I found little of either. There were a few "wow" moments (Kim Tinsley's journey through Gnawa), and the writing of all individuals involved is superior, but after a while I found myself not caring. Which is awful, because these are supposed to be really profound moments (and I'm sure they were in some cases), but it just di...
I enjoyed many of these short memoirs, but I also realized that a little travel memoir goes a long way. Perhaps I would have gotten more from the stories if I'd read them individually, rather than one after the next.
I enjoyed some of the stories in this book. Several women contributed travel tales of their own, and some of them I could really connect with and some I felt like I just wasn't at a point in my life where they made sense to me.
I enjoyed this very much. I find travel to be such an adventure and at times a challenge.Nice variety of female voices on spiritual journeys.
I’ve read and re-read this book. The stories of women on their spiritual and physical journeys always entertain an provoke thoughts in the reader.
