'I must go where the four winds blow
Where the spirit speaks to its own;
For now I am free
Like the wind I must be
And help the others home.'

When Barry Long uttered these words, over forty years ago, he'd no idea of what was to come. Now we know, because his spiritual teaching has gone to the four corners of the earth and he's fulfilled the mission of every spiritual master - helping the others home. This place, eternity, our true home, is the cause of such longing that it famously inspires the mystic and the poet.

All his life Barry Long sought to express his passion for the truth, to say the unsayable and articulate the divine mysteries of life. This book is the expression of that mystic call and a song of praise to the source of all spiritual inspiration. It contains poems and verses he wrote privately from time to time in his personal journey home. So it's a unique testimony by a modern mystic. And yet, since the inspiration is absolutely impersonal, this is a book with the power to touch every reader who has ever known that same longing; who can hear the spirit speaking to its own.
