1. Wandering Joy
Meister Eckhart's Mystical Philosophy
A sequence of meditative essays distilling a medieval mystic’s teachings on detachment, poverty of spirit, and the ungraspable Godhead, inviting a practice of letting-be and acting “without why.” Combining philosophical rigor with poetic clarity, it portrays ungroundedness not as lack but as the source of serene, itinerant joy, loosening metaphysical attachments and fixed identities. Close readings of sermons are interwoven with contemporary reflections to sketch an ethics of freedom rooted in contemplative releasement.
