Divine Sparks: Collected Wisdom of the Heart

Divine Sparks: Collected Wisdom of the Heart reminds us, in the words of Hildegard of Bingen, that we are all sparks of the divine flame. Karen Speerstra has assembled quotes from thousands of profound thinkers and writers bent on the task of search, discovery,and the sharing of insight. Simple and profound, they offer a multitude of perspectives to understand and live life more fully.

From Lao Tzu to Mark Twain, the Dalai Lama to Dolly Parton, Divine Sparks offers abundant inspiration and wisdom. Thought provoking, often humorous and always enlightening, these quotations are drawn from ordinary and extraordinary sources. We often search for inspiration in esoteric places when we need not look farther than the words of those around us.
