A Little Bird Told Me

This is an engagingly written autobiography mixing the ups and downs of life events and experiences with reflections on wider questions arising from them. These include apparitions, experiences with crop circles and strange encounter with a blackbird which seemed in some way to be representing a family member. The text contains photographs, illustrations and poems that help bring the story alive. Many of the experiences, such as a trilling sound heard with crop circles, are later found correspond to those of other people. There are reflections on OBEs and NDEs and the nature of mind and even cross cultural patterns in sacred geometry. We may still see through the glass darkly but the experiences of other people may help us understand more, along with the message of Sacred Scriptures. Towards the end of the book, Ann concludes that heaven is not the objective – 'I myself am Heaven and Hell', as Omar Khayyam observed. Then the Gita: 'when one sees eternity in things that pass away and infinity in finite things, then one has pure knowledge.' What more can one add?
