A Life for the Senses

"I've been reading your archives... reading and rereading everything I could find. You are an amazing creature. Bravissimo..." - Marlena de Blasi, internationally bestselling author of A Thousand Days in Venice and A Thousand Days in Tuscany

For nearly five years, the Soul Artist Journal, a weekly e-column/blog by healer, chef, and author L.R. Heartsong, explored the art of living a meaningful connected existence, celebrating "a life for the senses." Though the posts were diverse, the underlying theme was always, how do we nourish the soul?

A LIFE FOR THE SENSES is the second compilation in an anthology, a further gathering of posts selected from the archives and twenty-plus categories, spanning the Journal's arc of existence. As with the previous volume (To Kneel and Kiss the Earth), these heart-full, delicious writings-including recipes-invite readers to welcome the ordinary, sensory moments in their days as small celebrations of a soul-centered existence.

Fans and subscribers of the Soul Artist Journal, as well as new readers discovering Heartsong's award-winning work, will delight in this second offering of lyrical prose in praise of nature, food, soul, and intimate relationship with Earth. With a gently luminous heart, here is another timely and welcome nod toward the re-enchantment of everyday life.
