These extraordinary women have expressed their experiences of the agony and ecstasy of pursuing spiritual enlightenment through their poetry and prose, which is beautiful, inspirational and often very moving.  Paula Marvelly has selected powerful and evocative words of wisdom from women of widely differing ages and faiths, by they Jewish, Christian, Sufi, Hindu, Buddhist or Taoist.  The author reveals the common and overriding theme between them, which can be expressed as "non-duality"- not two but one.  This is the experience of losing one’s individuality and of becoming one with the universe.
