'If you listen carefully to a story, you will never be the same again, since that story will enter your heart and, like a worm, it will end up gnawing away at all the obstacles that oppose the divine. So even if you read the stories in this book just to pass the time, there's no guarantee that one of them won't end up breaking down your defenses and exploding when you least expect it. You're warned!" With as much humor as lyricism, with as much lightness as depth, this book addresses the great questions of self-knowledge and personal growth: the body, emptiness, shadow, contemplation, identity, forgiveness and everyday life. A narrative treatise on spirituality with extraordinary potential for transformation. A literary artifact that, with the unmistakable personal mark of Pablo d'Ors, inaugurates what could well be called a literature of light.
