An acclaimed expert in Christian mysticism travels to a monastery high in the Trodos Mountains of Cyprus and offers a fascinating look at the Greek Orthodox approach to spirituality that will appeal to readers of Carlos Castaneda.In an engaging combination of dialogues, reflections, conversations, history, and travel information, Kyriacos C. Markides continues the exploration of a spiritual tradition and practice little known in the West he began in Riding with the Lion. His earlier book took readers to the isolated peninsula of Mount Athos in northern Greece and into the group of ancient monasteries. There, in what might be called a "Christian Tibet," two thousand monks and hermits practice the spiritual arts to attain a oneness with God. In his new book, Markides follows Father Maximos, one of Mount Athos's monks, to the troubled island of Cyprus. As Father Maximos establishes churches, convents, and monasteries in this deeply divided land, Markides is awakened anew to the magnificent spirituality of the Greek Orthodox Church. Images of the land and the people of Cyprus and details of its tragic history enrich the Mountain of Silence. Like the writings of Castaneda, the book brilliantly evokes the confluence of an inner and outer journey. The depth and richness of its spiritual message echo the thoughts and writings of Saint Francis of Assisi and other great saints of the Church as well. The result is a remarkable work-a moving, profoundly human examination of the role and the power of spirituality in a complex and confusing world.

Nice earrings
Color: Silver, Size: 24 mm
These earring are beautiful. I like how they sparkle. They are very comfortable. I gave them 4 stars because I feel like the clasp closure is a bit loose. It still closes but I noticed one closure is looser than the other. I love the size of them, They are not too big but they are not small either. I feel like they are the prefect size. I like the thickness of them and make a great statement piece. I get compliments on them. I recommend.

Heavy Earrings
Color: Silver, Size: 19 mm, Color: Silver, Size: 19 mm
While quite beautiful, my wife complains that they are a bit heavy for her ears and cause her pain. The inner glass circle is removable and has helped alleviate the weight on her ears. However, that was the reason she chose these earrings. If she takes that off, she is left with plain silver hoops, which she didn’t want.

very pretty, sparkly
Color: Silver, Size: 19 mm, Color: Silver, Size: 19 mm
These actually look much nicer than I thought they would, given the price point. These ae silver plated brass, but nickel and lead free. It is kind of a bummer that they are only silver plated though. So far, they haven't been irritating my ears at all.
They open really wide with a hinge at the bottom. The little sparkly donut covers that while you're wearing them so you don't' really see the hinge. The donut can slip off very easily though. You have to be careful when opening, closing, and putting them in.
