There is, in fact, no real "spirituality" (a much misunderstood term in these days) without the laughter which the sense of humor brings. -The Sense of Humor, Helen M. Luke |
Kaleidoscope: The Way of Woman and Other Essays: (June 1992)
This major collection offers an excellent introduction to Helen Luke's insights, divided into three sections. The Way of Woman explores the roles of women in literature and in contemporary society, delving into such complex topics as marriage, divorce and birth control. The Way of Discrimination touches upon many qualities of the innerlife-humility, pride, humor, suffering-and includes a discussion of the Chinese I Ching or Book of Changes and its use as a guide. In the last section, The Way of Story, Luke takes on the mantle of storyteller, offering her own tales of change and self-discovery as well as interpretations of class, archetypal stories. |
