Spirituality is Solitary

Text from the book Leap

by Terry Tempest Williams

Spirituality is solitary.
Its companion is conflict,
a gnawing at the soul
that cannot be ignored.
We are engaged.
There are no rules.
There are no maps. . . .

Terry Tempest Williams is a writer of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and children's literature and for several years was naturalist in residence at the Utah Museum of Natural History in Salt Lake City. She came to national prominence with the publication of Refuge: An Unnatural History of Family and Place (1992), which encompasses themes of ecological change, dying, healing and renewal. Reviewer John Hanson Mitchell has observed that Williams "has a knack for integrating topical issues and detailed observations of nature into her narratives." In Leap, Hieronymus Bosch's fifteenth-century painting The Garden of Delights becomes a vehicle for her reflection on our own natural and spiritual worlds.
