Description

A miracle is a process, not an event, explains poet Mark Nepo. And "as coal is pressed into a diamond, experience presses us into the clear jewel that we are. Inside the Miracle offers listeners an unabridged reading of his latest book, with 28 new poems, 10 personal essays, and additional teachings and insights he has gathered since going through his own cancer journey almost 30 years ago.
Part one speaks to the mysterious and arduous journey through disease, and how we open to the gifts of resilience and perseverance. Part two explores the experience of being "turned inside out" as we realize the truth that "we are constantly approaching wholeness yet never completely whole. Part three affirms the simple and tender gift of living the days we have, once opened and shaped by the inevitable human journey.
