About this ebook
"Talking to paper is talking to the divine. Paper is infinitely patient. Each time you scratch on it, you trace part of yourself, and thus part of the world, and thus part of the grammar of the universe. It is a huge language, but each of us tracks his or her particular understanding of it." —from A Walk Between Heaven and Earth
Unlike any other guide to journal writing, A Walk Between Heaven and Earth is itself written as a personal journal and as a meditation on the flow of creation. Burghild Nina Holzer demonstrates that the creative process is in fact a large, ongoing movement in our lives and that we may gradually discover the pattern and direction of it by trusting whatever it is we choose to confide to the page. She helps would-be writers recognize the power and importance of opening themselves to the present moment and recording whatever they find there. Holzer's book is both inspiration and model. It will appeal not only to those who wish to explore the creative process as a mystical path, but to all who desire to express themselves through writing.

Over the years, I purchased more than a half-dozen copies of this unusual little book in trade paperback format. Most of them I gave to others as inspirational gifts. The couple that I kept have been reread many many times, marked up in pencil, and have been companions to my journal at home and when I traveled. I have been expanding my ebook library and decided that this precious and personal jewel must reside along with the other keepsake books which continue to be all season and all weather companions and touchstones. I relate to the author because journal writing can have such important short- and long-term therapeutic and influential effects. Because creativity is linked to writing, I found that this book made me think often and deeply about reading, writing and observation. Over many years it has continued to be a source of comfort and contemplation. It came into my life at the right time, and has remained an important part of it. Not many books have been as treasured by me.
