holy texts.

i'm curious.
i'm wondering.
what are your holy texts?
and. what makes a "holy text"?
if you were to gather up those books, those bits of paper, those photographs that make you think, feel, understand, question, and feel more alive... what would you gather?

the other night, i sat to write a ceremony. i gathered up my texts. i realized how there were some new ones in the pile. and i felt comforted by the ones that have been there for quite some time.

i really want to know this from you. tell me. what are your sacred, and most holy texts.

here's what i found in my pile (in no particular order):
*emerson's essays
*the essential rumi translated by coleman barks
*the mastery of love by don miguel ruiz
*the celestine prophesy by james redfield
*the soundtrack to 'amelie'
*the soundtrack to 'the piano'
*life prayers from around the world by elizabeth roberts and elias amidon
*the bridge of stars edited by marcus braybrooke
*practical feng shui by simon brown
*singing the living tradition (the unitarian universalist hymnal)
*you can heal your life by louise hay
*leaves of grass by walt whitman
*e.e. cummings complete poems
*the shawshank redemption screenplay
* the view outside my bedroom window
*the photo on the windowsill of the loves of my life

so.... there's the beginning of my list.
i'm ready to hear yours.

so it is.
