Becoming was born out of my own fumbling through the dark, through grief, trying to relate with what I consider the Mystery of Life and emerging from that with a greater trust and truer connection to my personal life. This book can be used to guide the reader into the unchartered terrain of his or her own shadow and the unturned stones that lie there, waiting to be discovered, with the prayer that through the process of relating to personal darkness and death, there is something actually recovered from those depths that strengthens the will to live.
