LATIN SPIRIT-365 days.-Wisdom, Landscape and People of Latin America.
I am happy to own the first two volumes of this amazing Collection "Offer to Humanity" : both of them are one of my few beloved treasures. I consider them exquisite selection of thoughts from the most spiritual revelations of Life as offered by the far east mysticism from the old world, and the beautiful philosophies of their Past ....also together with the just perfect photos from Olivier Follmi !
In Latin America, we are in a new world, a different one. At first sight I was a bit shocked: I thought the format was too small for such an enormous amount of strong , vivid and rich color; there was not a mention of my own country (Argentina) etc.etc. even if I am used to travel behind that not so light blue sky, that excessive amount of light, that amount of sensual beauty that pervades almost everything, that amazing potentiality of every manifestation of Nature... All this is found in this extraordinary book, but of course it is NOT the "spiritual revelation" of Tibet and India! Latin America is also a world of art, but of a different world, a differentParadise : "Beauty like happiness, occurs frequently, not a day goes by in which we don't for an instance, live in Paradise" ( Jorge Luis Borges)-
Therefore, instead of a paradise of spirituality we find here a South American one: the Earth, Nature, Plants , Animals, The Body, its Beauty, Youth, Love, Children! ,Dance, Smiles, and above all, an unusual amount of dignity, human pain and something different from all we are used to up to now: human happiness !
Latin America is also a wonderful book, as the others, a magnificent work of art. An historical and different wisdom ,permits you to look into a different world which might perhaps enjoy happiness: not the world of the Past , but that of the Future.
This book is another masterpiece.
