Meister Eckhart's Book of Darkness & Light: Meditations on the Path of the Wayless Way

Only in the Darkness Can You Begin to See the Light

For more than eight hundred years, Meister Eckhart has been one of the most profound and enduring voices in the history of spirituality — an influence on Eckhart Tolle, Richard Rohr, Matthew Fox, and countless seekers who have walked the contemplative path. Now, in this stunning collection, Jon M. Sweeney and Mark S. Burrows bring his wisdom to life in fresh, luminous poetic form.

Meister Eckhart's Book of Darkness & Light is not for those seeking a simple path. It is for those willing to walk the "wayless way" — to face their own darkness, and in doing so, discover what it truly means to desire the light. As Meister Eckhart teaches: only when you are in the darkness do you have even the possibility of seeing the light.

"What Coleman Barks has done for Rumi, Sweeney and Burrows have done for Eckhart — making his insight accessible and his wisdom sing."
— Carl McColman
