There is a pleasure in listening to the imagery of Alexander's Bridge that is similar to

viewing a beautiful watercolor, as in the following description of a Boston street in late afternoon: "The sun

sank rapidly; the silvery light had faded from the bare boughs and the watery twilight was setting in when

Wilson at last walked down the hill, descending into cooler and cooler depths of grayish shadow."



Against this delicate imagery, Willa Cather renders the tough inner terrain of a man in mid-life crisis. Bartley

Alexander is a master bridge engineer. At forty-three he is at the height of his power, comfortable with success

and all it brings. Yet he yearns for the lost vibrancy of his youth. He leads a double life, veering between his

beautiful, accomplished wife and his mistress, an actress he knew as a student in Paris. This conflict creates

a crack in the structure of his life which ultimately undermines him.

"You have a true higher self and [The Dance] tells you how to come from there all the time and be authentic and make a lasting difference."  --- Mark Victor Hansen, co-creator of the New York Times bestselling series Chicken Soup for the Soul

Welcome to The Dance. In this compelling audio, the acclaimed author of The Invitation challenges listeners to savor the everyday world of family friends, love, and work, with clear minds and open hearts. When we are physically and emotionally stressed and our spirits are depleted, we must realize that happiness has not vanished, but is buried under the clutter of our harried lives. With rare courage and honesty, Oriah Mountain Dreamer unveils the challenge of her inspiring poem through compelling stories from her own experience, offering us tools not to change but to become fully the person we already are.

To dance is to discover a gift that we can give ourselves again and again over a lifetime and to be who we truly are as we live our soul's desires. To do this, we must learn how to let go and slow down, returning to the sacred emptiness where we encounter our true self Practical, inspiring, and profoundly illuminating, The Dance is an invitation to discover a place of connection, serenity, and joy that is uniquely our own.

Oriah Mountain Dreamer is a visionary teacher and writer, and author of the bestselling The Invitation. She speaks and leads workshops, ceremonies and retreats throughout the United States and Canada.
