Considering a Solitary Life
A Journal which Contemplates becoming a Contemplative Solitary

Available Now in book, CD and cassette
Available Soon in:
Video

There was a time in my life when I was a young man, and very earnestly searching for God. It was a very lonely time for me, and the church, with its monastic traditions, eremitic traditions, contemplative tradition, prayer life, sacramentals, great saints and contemplatives appealed to me and comforted me a great deal. They still do.

I am on a broader, more universal spiritual path now, and decidedly not a solitary one. And yet, I feel that the journals I recorded during this period are of value to me and to those who might be on their own journey, wrestling with a life of contemplation, eremeticism, prayer or priesthood.

And so, I offer them humbly, to serve whatever positive purpose they might offer to seekers. Of course, you will find them highly influenced by Thomas Merton, for I had read, during this period in my life, his Seven Story Mountain, and other books by and about him. I made a trip to Gethsemene Monastery, where he lived and had his hermitage, which I was blessed to see and visit.

I wish you, dear reader, all the fruit that your journey into the life of the spirit might offer. I bless and affirm your spiritual process, and know for you that it will create a life of peace, service and fulfillment, if you do your wrestling, praying, contemplating and growing, as seekers must do. In truth, all humans must do this, for we are all seekers, whether we are aware of it or not! Peace and love to each of you. "All shall be well," as the famous mystic has said. Go with God.

Love Has Come Down at Christmas
by Michael D. Purvis, BME
An Uplifting Book which Focuses upon the Thankfulness, Joy, Transformation and Mystery
which is present in our Christmas-time Journey.

Available Now in book, CD and cassette
Available Soon in:
video

What a joy Christmas is! How, as children, we looked forward to it. But as adults, sometimes the weight of the world interferes, and Christmas may even come to be associated with painful memories of events which happened near or during Christmas-time in recent years. Or, we may simply not have the heart to experience the joy of Christmas due to things which happened at any time, during any year- even long ago.

It is when this happens that we must renew our thankfulness, and open to the joy and the mystery which is the Christmas journey. For, no matter what sad events have occurred, no matter how upset or depressed we may be (or have recently been), Christmas is our chance to reconnect with God, with ourselves, with joy, mystery, and each other. It, like Easter, is a wonderful chance for transformation!

This is why the story of Mr. Scrooge in Charles Dickens' wonderful book, A Christmas Carol, is so appealing to all of us; for we know, down deep, that Christmas truly is a transformational journey. We love to watch joy, love and thankfulness surface in Dickens' character, Mr. Scrooge, because we know that to a great degree, he is all of us. So, dear reader, here is a little book about transformation to all of these things for we modern folk. It is my prayer for you that no matter where or when it is you may be reading this book, you may have the transformation you need. May this Christmas bring to you all the mystery, joy, connection and love you are longing for! And, in the words of Tiny Tim:

"God bless us, every one!"

My Great Journey
by Michael D. Purvis, BME
An Uplifting Book for those Dealing with Serious Illness, their Families and Caregivers, about the Transitional Journey and its Meaning for all who Experience it.

Available Now in book
Available Soon in:
CD, audio cassette, and video

Through this book, author, illustrator, motivational and inspirational performer, recording artist, and life-long seeker of universal spiritual truth, Michael D. Purvis, takes those who are (or may be) moving toward transition to the afterlife, their families and caregivers, on a wonderful and affirming journey in which he shares a simple, universal message. The text, complete with beautiful original illustrations is comforting and has been supported by the accounts of numerous Near Death Experiences and the research of many doctors and professionals in the fields of Healthcare and Spirituality.

The message is about life…
God is love, we are eternal, and our lives here on earth and our transition to the afterlife is one unified, love- filled journey. We are connected and can feel each other's presence during our lives, during our transitions, and after our transitions.

And the message is about what we call "death"…
We do not die- not really. We are all swimming in love. That is what God is and that is what we are. We need not be afraid of death, for we are never really "gone." Our lives and our journeys are connected, and we will always be. For this connection with each other and with God (as each of us conceives of God) is the power of love and our true destiny as humans and as souls.

All was blessed indeed, until one day...
the evil sorcerer who lived in the craggy depths, in the damp dark cave at the bottom of the cliff at the edge of the kingdom, finally had enough of all the music and laughter in this musical kingdom.

For, if the truth be told...
the music he heard coming from the kingdom made his tummy ache.

"Someday, someday," he would cry...
"I'll make their instrument strings go plunk and break!"

"I'll turn their melodious voices to gravely rasps!" he would seethe.

"But how to do it?" the old sorcerer mused.

Will the sorcerer be successful?... Or will music "Save the Day?"

When a young boy, who has always been raised to believe he is special and very good receives some teasing at school over his red hair,
it is an opportunity for learning some tough lessons about the nature of the world.

Through learning to trust wisdom from his mother and father, and embracing his own fortitude, our young protagonist, Eddie, comes to truly understand the words of his beloved grandmother, who always said, 'The Lord works in mysterious ways!"
In the past, he hadn't really understood what she meant when she said this (and she said it quite often!) But now, when he thinks about his trouble with the boys at school who call him "Carrot-Top," and how a special Show and Tell and a beloved, big red dog have helped him to make friends, he thinks maybe he understands just a little of what his grandmother meant.

The very crux of this tale is that it is the faith, innocence and energy of youth that ultimately persuades our "grumpy grandpa" to "jump back into life," after a bit of a rocky start in a new life at a nursing home.

Grandparents will enjoy explaining
to their grandchildren
that the songs in the accompanying singalong were the songs they used to sing with their own parents when they were children.

This story is delightful, and the singalong is great fun!

Each night, Uncle Charlie the Field Mouse
tells the little field mice who are yet too young
to work in the fields of the wonderful corn concerts
and the beautiful Song of the Corn,
as they sit by Aunt Beatrice Mouse's fireside before bedtime. He sings in his beautiful Irish Tenor Voice, the Song that Autumn Corn sings to the grown mice after their day of gathering the scraps from the farmer's field.

Then one day, rumors begin to circulate
of a big change coming to the farm. Ominous whisperings frighten Aunt Beatrice and Uncle Charlie. They try to keep talk of something new called a strip-mall, and the possible sale of the farm from the ears of the little mice.

Could the beautiful way of life the mice an all on the farm have known and loved be coming to an end?

What is to become of them all?
The animals gather together and cooperate like never before, and try to decide what to do, as the familiar singing of the corn fills the autumn air.

Available Soon in:
CD and audio cassette

When a young boy, who has always been raised to believe he is special and very good receives some teasing at school over his red hair,
it is an opportunity for learning some tough lessons about the nature of the world.

Through learning to trust wisdom from his mother and father, and embracing his own fortitude, our young protagonist, Eddie, comes to truly understand the words of his beloved grandmother, who always said, 'The Lord works in mysterious ways!"
In the past, he hadn't really understood what she meant when she said this (and she said it quite often!) But now, when he thinks about his trouble with the boys at school who call him "Carrot-Top," and how a special Show and Tell and a beloved, big red dog have helped him to make friends, he thinks maybe he understands just a little of what his grandmother meant.

Our world is increasingly diverse, and increasingly in need of love and tolerance. If we could only see what a blessing it is that we are all different, have different beliefs, and come from different cultures, places and life paths. The Mother Duck and the Mayor who Understood Love is a wonderful little story which illustrates this point in a delightful, sensible way. Oh, if we all had the sense of our mother duck! She is an inspiration to us all. Perhaps there is an "inner mother duck" and gifted, conciliatory mayor within all of us just waiting to come out and bless and heal our world.
