Words And Wonderings

Words and Wonderings is a celebration of gratitude, kindness, mindfulness, truth and the love of beauty through the gifts and giftedness of poets, artists, musicians, gardeners, bakers and many more, who discover their creativity in communion with others. Through conversations and connections Joy Mead explores the true meaning of community –– beyond the jargon of ‘community cohesion’ and the ‘‘Big Society’’. But what matters most and is central to this book is wonder –– be it at the sunrise or the food on our plates, the intricacy of a grain of wheat or the diversity of people, bread baked and broken, gardens, orchards, kitchens, poetry, painting, music –… or simply being a part of the way good communities make themselves and value their distinctiveness. The words of this book all begin a process towards what can’’t be told but can be shared, towards recovering that sense of wonder at our earth and one another, which is what justifies our being alive.
