On Twitter thrives a rich community of religious and “spiritual” individuals, sharing links to material, posting inspirational quotes or ideas and creating a space to interact with like minded peers. So, when I happened upon Frédéric Martin’s Rise!: 365 Spiritual Tweets, I was definitely intrigued.For my Christian counterparts, you’ll find bits of truth very similar to those found in the book of Proverbs and the rest of the wisdom literature books, but do be mindful of the nature of the way the word “spiritual” is used in this context and that relativism is at the helm.For those who are new age or seeking meaning, and interested in beginning the journey toward engaging what it means to be a being with body AND soul, this may be a good book for you to begin that investigation. Or perhaps you would just like to read a collection of poetic musings and observations that are written well and provide thought provoking insight into Martin’s world. This is a book that will encourage thought and deep reflection on what it means to be a human, ever experiencing the tug on the soul toward something greater; something beyond yourself.#91: “Hearts of stone have to be broken”
