Heartland is an enthralling read for anyone concerned about moving forward from the hurts of the past to a unified and forgiving future. It highlights the fact that all our differences are far less than our similarities and it is only the ego that seperates peoples regardless of their differences.
ReplyDeleteCharles Fivaz has told a story that can apply equally to South Africa with its own hurtful past as it can to the rest of Africa and even other continents.
Heartland makes a universal appeal for unity under one Great Creator that should NOT be ignored. There will never be a better time for this message to be heard and Heartland is the perfect channel for it to be promoted.
The story is appealing on its own regardless of any attempts at interpretation or searches for deeper meanings.

An imaginative, poignant story encouraging us not to allow the differences between us to blind us to our one origin and one destiny. Instead, we are encouraged to set out yet again in our lives as pilgrims in dialogue with others – and the Other. In this way, we may grow in the knowledge and love of others (and the Other) and in the hope of being reconciled and given peace.

Thansk for your book whichj I enjoyed.
ReplyDeleteI love this quote too: "What you dream alone remains a dream, what you dream with others can become a reality." (Edward Schillebeeckx)
Do you have an Eddie source for that?
Friends told me they have heard it ascribed to John Lennon or Helder Camara or Dom Helder.
Cheers
