Barley Cakes

Parables for the Twenty-first Century

by Cheryl Cavalconte

 

     Barley Cakes…Smell the dirt while the Sower sows the seeds.  Smell the crisp air as the Fire Keeper lights the fire.  Feel the darkness as you walk behind the Blind Villager.  Know the wonder of the Young Child and the Healer.  Remember the struggle of the Young Novice and the Angry Villager.  Taste the barley cake; it is hot, heavy, fresh, and aromatic.

    "Barley Cakes is a book of parables that rises out of my own experience of life.  Strangely autobiographical, the parables answer my own life questions.  I know all the Villagers personally because I am all of the Villagers."  From the introduction of Barley Cakes.
