"A misunderstood, eighteenth century poet, a twentieth century homeless girl, weird maths, imaginary dragons and a hidden Paris - it all comes together in this remarkable book about how we create lasting fulfillment and flourish." --Dee Reinert, Editor
Have you ever felt that life goes on, circumstances and people
change, good things show up, and yet something is still missing?
The Portuguese have a word for that; they call it saudade. Saudade
describes a feeling of melancholy or nostalgia for something
that hasn't even happened yet. It's the strange sensation that something is
lacking in your life but you're not sure what the elusive, missing piece is.
You're just not quite fulfilled.
As a teenager, Dana Hutton ran away from home to escape
the oppression of fundamentalist religion and a toxic, sometimes abusive
home life. Passing through a period of homelessness, poverty, and
violence drove her within herself and set her at odds with the world. When
she experienced a moment of unexpected transcendent awareness at the
tender age of eighteen, her perception of life and Self was permanently
altered by something that she didn't yet understand or know how to fully
integrate. The choices of her youth set her on a path that
led her across the Atlantic and around the world on a quest for truth, Self,
and the key to human fulfillment. She found that key and now shares her
journey and insights with others in this unique book.
This book explores the Art of Becoming our inherent ability to awaken and
transform, and our need, both individually and collectively, to find a deep,
abiding sense of fulfillment in the world. Fulfillment and flourishing are
part of the Great Work. If you feel that fulfillment is lacking in your life,
or if you're still looking for meaning, purpose, and inner peace, this book is
for you.
