Weaving the Web of Life

Each selection in this edition represents a particular strand in the complex web of life. The authors give voice, not only to their individual perspectives, but speak for the chorus of people who have influenced them during their search for meaning and guided them as they walked their chosen paths.

Our selections represent the broad range of philosophical and practical issues. They are chosen for the detail and depth that the reader can explore. Most offer opportunities for life-changing experiences. Many contain information and experiences that you will want to share with others.

We are pleased to present these new additions to our Living Library in the hope that our visitors will find new threads to weave into their personal tapestries of life.

LOVING THROUGH HEARTSONGS

Mattie J. T. Stepanek

Hyperion Press, NY
ISBN: 0-78686946-1

Maya Angelo writes in her Forward to this 5^th book in the Heartsong series – “It is remarkable that a person so young could have the wisdom to write, “It matters that the world knows we must celebrate the gift of life every day. We must remember to play after every storm”. Mattie J. T. Stepanek means to lift up every person, lift up every human being and carry us all across the finish line, each of us first, each of us a winner.”

LOVING THROUGH HEARTSONGS – is in Mattie’s words the final book of the Heartsong series. While he spoke also of his desire to continue writing and sharing his thoughts, feelings and prayers with the world, the final poem of the book seems to express his inner wisdom and awareness of the impossibility of fulfillment. Written in February 2002 – Mattie shares his thoughts – Timeless existence –

It is nice when people
Notice you are present, but
It is important when people
Notice you are absent.
It is said that “absence
Makes the heart grow fonder.”
We should rather that “presence
Makes the heart grow fondest.”
Then, even when we are
Gone into our future,
We still live in
The present of our past.
