This collection presents conversations between Irish author John O'Donohue and broadcaster John Quinn, recorded over several years before O'Donohue's death in January 2008. Quinn has gathered these discussions and presentations into a tribute to his friend's work on spirituality and Celtic mysticism. The conversations cover wonder, landscape, the medieval mystic Meister Eckhart, aging, and death. O'Donohue speaks in his characteristic lyrical voice, offering insights he believed could address what he saw as modern society's spiritual hunger. Quinn introduces each section, providing context for these exchanges that span multiple years of their friendship and collaboration.
