It is about a cat and a boy and a family in the Australian bush. But it is a magical cat and a magical boy and a magical country. The cat comes from beyond time and teaches the boy to discover the hidden mystery of his own soul and of the land on which he lives. We all live in two worlds. There is the world of everyday life and there is also the world of dreams and fantasy and poetry and also of religion. It is a strange world which can lead to madness but also lead to the Ultimate Truth. Dom Bede Griffiths (1906-1993). 'Note: 'Zoe d'Ay is an Oblate of the Benedictine Saccidananda Ashram in Shantivanam, India. She was Swami Sitadevi Sarasvati in the Bihar School of Yoga for 20 years, and is a former vice-president of the Illawarra C G Jung Society. The story and later mandala pictures are out of a dream inspired by her meeting with Bede Griffiths, the major exponent of Christian-Hindu dialogue of the last century. She paints icons in her spare time.'. Seller Inventory # 10618
