About this book
Sunlight, sea winds and shifting dunes become signs of spiritual life in Arthur Middleton's journal. Presented by Edward J. O'Brien with an editor's prefatory note, these dated entries follow Middleton's stay on remote western islands. A childhood memory of light at his bedside leads into walks along the sand, visits to Mass and moments of wonder at flowers, birds and the evening sky.
The reflections join Roman Catholic belief to an intense interest in music, poetry and the arts. Middleton imagines an outdoor sacred drama with stars as its orchestra, considers the limits of written expression and returns repeatedly to silence as a form of praise. Readers interested in mysticism will find a brief, inward record in which small observations of nature open into thoughts about creation, the body and faith.
