Stepping Through

To be a true seeker, is to hold the essence of a simple prayer in our hearts: the wish to be whole and to be home.

This is a guide to the art of seeking and following the way, through endings, grief, disappearance and the way in which we are unmade by life, to make us ready to face the threshold, and finally to make a new peace again with the hand of ours reaching from beyond the veil of knowing, inviting us ever forward, to Tomorrow.

The poems and encouragements in Stepping Through, meet the reader in the spirit of guidance and companionship along the journey of necessary threshing, about Love and Life and how we navigate our sense of belonging and purpose as our certainty and self-belief waxes and wanes through the tides and seasons of a well lived life.

Rocco Jarman's work is a blend of stirring poetry and everyday philosophy which opens a window onto the often-troubling but beautiful account of seeking connection, meaning and belonging in our lives. The work reflects a deep understanding of the human psyche which is both powerfully compassionate and aspirating to the soul.
