A Seeker’s Journey

About the Book

Fran Berkell-Rafferty was in college when she first saw the quote by Dag Hammarskjold, “If only I may grow: firmer, simpler, quieter, warmer.” Throughout the next four decades while busy pursuing degrees, marrying, and raising a family, she would often pause and question whether she was growing in direction of that mantra. In a collection of philosophical musings based on her personal experiences, Berkell-Rafferty reflects on her determination to grow firmer, simpler, quieter, and warmer as she aged while helping others to see how the simplest offerings of nature’s bounty can connect us to understanding the absolute complexities that we face day-to-day. Throughout her gems of hard-earned wisdom and observations of the natural world around her, she invites others to refill their spiritual wells and reflect on their own remarkable journey through life. A Seeker’s Journey shares thoughtful writings and wisdom that encourage those in search of inner peace to seek light from the darkness to grow firmer, simpler, quieter, and warmer.
