Transform Yesterday’s Fight With Tomorrow’s Life - join Poet Craig A Roberts

Take a moment, come enter into a deeper spirituality, transform yesterday’s fight with tomorrow’s life by the restorative power of Solas Chrìost [Christ’s Light]. Join Poet Craig A. Roberts from Scriptorium Aotearoa for a time of prayerful mediation.   Poet Craig A. Roberts writes and speaks through a Celtic Christian lens from Scriptorium Aotearoa. His books have been published in New York, Dublin and New Zealand and made their way to be heard in quiet spaces around the globe. His writing points readers into a deeper spirituality that has to be experienced by the heart and body. When the heart and soul knows something, then what becomes lodged in the mind is perhaps authentic.  Craig previously worked alongside leaders and their followers helping them row through disrupted worlds. Nowadays he writes on the life's voyage through the turbulent straits between our inner and outer lives.  Craig is tāngata-tiriti, is from Aotearoa New Zealand,  the emergent island highlands of a vast drowned continent Te Riu-a-Māui (Zealandia). He lives above the deep realm of oceans on e Ika-a-Māui (North Island),  one of over 700 isles. There is a mountain close by called Kapakapanui. From its slopes the waters of the Waikanae River flow to the sea. His forebears left their beloved mountains and glens of Perthshire Highlands, Scotland and the white fields of Northumbria. Over the generations they voyaged to these tectonic isles.  His latest book published by Anamchara Books, New York is Waymarks for the Celtic Pilgrim Journey: Meditations and Prayers from Aotearoa New Zealand.  Reviewer Ray Simpson - Author of The Way of Life for the Third Millenium, and the Celtic Book of Days. He says, “This book reveals vulnerability. It brings prophetic challenge. Above all it wings us into the Presence… It will inspire you to explore untrodden places in your life. The author is steeped in Celtic Christian traditions and uses tools such as a letter to one’s Anam-charaid, Lectio Divina, the Crossing Place, and journaling. Craig  cultivates our understanding of phronema used by Eastern Church– the mind of Christ that plumbs the depth of the soul, the width of the universe, and the essence of Jesus’ Way. In the West, Celtic Christianity nurtures a similar spirituality that makes room for poetry – the ‘eye of the eagle’ and ‘the five-stringed harp– ’ the use of sound, sight, hearing, touch and scent in our lives with God on earth.” Craig is a member of the Community of Aidan and Hilda: A dispersed people across the world who journey with God, reconnecting with the Spirit and the Scriptures, the Saints and the Streets, the Soil and the Seas.   Poet Craig A Roberts, PhD Scriptorium Aotearoa New Zealand The Scriptorium Aotearoa logo represents the long-haul migratory voyage of the Kuaka from the Arctic to Aotearoa. Tāngata tiriti”: Te Reo Maori meaning ‘people of the Treaty of Waitangi’.
