Reviews"Cumulatively, [Embers]'s meditations are sad, funny, and and touching. But most of all, they have the potential for healing, if that's what you're looking for. If not, it's still a wonderful read." ~ Wayne Arthurson, Quill & Quire (starred review), "[ Embers ] is the type of book you set on your bedside table or desk, and open at a random page whenever you feel the need to poke at the emotional and spiritual fire within yourself...the book's meditations are sad, funny, and touching. But most of all, they have the potential for healing." -- Quill & Quire "This is a meaning-packed collection of brief spiritual reflections from one of the most prolific of Native/First Nations teachers and writers. We recommend you read from it each morning upon waking." -- Spirituality & Practice "[Wagamese's] words serve as metaphorical embers for Ojibway wisdom, stories, songs, relationships, and culture...This is a deeply personal yet accessible collection. Beautifully designed with full-color nature photographs throughout, it will appeal to readers interested in Ojibway culture, and also, more broadly, to those interested in meditation, spirituality, and the creative process." -- Publishers Weekly " Embers is a reflection of Wagamese's experiences, and of our own. It encourages us to look in the mirror, and that is not a bad thing." -- Times Colonist
SynopsisA beautifully packaged collection of personal reflections from one of Canada's foremost First Nations authors., An inspirational, spiritual and transformative collection of meditative wisdoms by beloved Indigenous author Richard Wagamese. In this carefully curated selection of everyday reflections, Richard Wagamese finds lessons in both the mundane and sublime as he muses on the universe, drawing inspiration from working in the bush--sawing and cutting and stacking wood for winter--as well as the smudge ceremony to bring him closer to the Creator. Embers is perhaps Richard Wagamese's most personal volume to date. Honest, evocative and articulate, he explores the various manifestations of grief, joy, recovery, beauty, gratitude, physicality and spirituality--concepts many find hard to express. But for Wagamese, spirituality is multifaceted. Within these pages, readers will find hard-won and concrete wisdom on how to feel the joy in the everyday things. Wagamese does not seek to be a teacher or guru, but these observations made along his own journey to become, as he says, "a spiritual bad-ass," make inspiring reading. "Life sometimes is hard. There are challenges. There are difficulties. There is pain. As a younger man I sought to avoid them and only ever caused myself more of the same. These days I choose to face life head on--and I have become a comet. I arc across the sky of my life and the harder times are the friction that lets the worn and tired bits drop away. It's a good way to travel; eventually I will wear away all resistance until all there is left of me is light. I can live towards that end." --Richard Wagamese, Embers, "Life sometimes is hard.
