This book for prayer and meditation is a marvelous blend of poetry and prose. The Star in My Heart provides resources for healing hurts, growing through self-acceptance and participating in the energy emanating each moment from the cosmic dance of life.

In all six chapters, mandalas, poetry and exceptional stories invite us to meditation.
