“If you’re tired, keep going. If you’re scared, keep going. If you’re hungry, keep going. If you want to taste freedom, keep going” – Harriet Tubman
Book Recommendation: Walking the Way of Harriet Tubman: Public Mystic and Freedom Fighter by Therese Taylor Stinson
It is easy to think of Harriet Tubman as a freedom fighter, but as a public mystic? Therese Taylor Stinson writes about Harriet as a mystic in this book, expounding on the visions that Harriet experienced during her life. But more than mere visions, Harriet had a strong connection with the divine. She called upon her faith in times of danger and challenge. And, she experienced mystical events that kept pursuers at bay during her numerous trips bringing friends and family to freedom. Interwoven with Harriet’s mystical experiences, Therese describes her own mystical experiences and the impact those experiences on her life.
The video below (50 minutes) is an interview with Therese as she talks about the book, about Harriet, and about mystical experience. Enjoy!
