What People Say About Songs to a Watchful Love By Donna Hardy
“Donna Hardy has brought the spirit and mood of the Psalms to contemporary
expression in ways that are deeply moving.
It is a marvelous achievement.
Prayer as poetry, poetry as prayer, these mediations only grow richer
with each reading.” – Gil Bailie, author of Violence Unveiled “I hear the voice of the psalmist calling down through the centuries
and echoing in a heart passionately included to listen, and I respond:
Behold, how good and how pleasant.” – Sylvia Boorstein, author
of Pay Attention for Goodness Sake and
That’s Funny You Don’t Look Buddhist “Donna brings the Psalms to light and life and invites readers to
make this journey ourselves between the traditional songs that source our
spirit and the songs that rise from daily life. What a loving practice, that we can all
engage.” – Christina Baldwin,
author of Seven Whispers, Listening to
the Voice of the Spirit, and Life’s Companion, Journal Writing as a Spiritual
Quest “In the language of our day these song-poems faithfully capture the
content of the Hebrew Testament Psalms.
In the manner of all true prayer they are intimately personal, always
social, and never private. They are
inspired and inspiring.” – Fr. Paul Curtin,
C.Ss.R., Director, Desert House of Prayer, “This is a rosary of pure feeling, each bead a glowing prayer, a meditative
moment, a love poem expressing the intense shifts of feeling that occur
between devotee and divine lover. Each
bed is also a reflection on the words of the Psalmist of old, a response in a
voice that belongs to this time and all time. Donna Hardy has given us a lyrical
treasure, a companion volume to the Psalms, and a spiritual friend.” – Naomi Lowinsky, Jungian
