Awakening To Yourself: Reflecting With Paintings Vol. 2
McBride, Denis Cssr
Books > Spirituality > Spiritual Direction
In this second volume of Reflecting with Paintings, Denis McBride takes us on another fascinating and challenging journey of imagination. Focusing on ten paintings by artists from a range of times and cultures. We explore the thoughts and feelings of a wide variety of characters, from Joseph the husband of Mary to a lone woman in a New York cafe. As we do so, we are invited to inhabit for a while another world – to look at things through different eyes and to listen to different voices. If we take this step out of our own familiar everyday world, we may be enabled to begin to see things differently in our own lives.

Borrowing the Eyes of Others: Reflecting.. Paintings V1
McBride, Denis Cssr
Books > Spirituality > Spiritual Direction
Taking ten paintings, Denis McBride 'becomes' a person featured in it, and provides a monologue which, as he says, is best spoken aloud rather than just read. Among them, we meet Giorgio Barbarelli (the painter, Giorgione), Mary with Jesus after He has been taken down from the Cross, Peter being forgiven by Jesus, Monsignor Portobello, Jojo, and, earlier, his Irish Gran.
McBride's reflections are very much in character; nothing is forced or artificial. Each is between ten to fourteen pages long, so there is time to develop the humour, honesty and the sense of hope in each chapter. He writes in prose, but it is laid out attractively on the pages, phrase by phrase. There is encouragement not to rush, to stop and to re-speak the words or a word. There is an implicit invitation to speak with the person. Very enjoyable - characters to get to know and to savour.
