Inhaltsangabe

D.M. Dooling believed that "life essentially makes sense" and she devoted much of her own life to the search for its meaning. "A human being is born" she said, "to set out on this quest, like a knight of Arthur's court." As part of her own quest, Dorothea Matthews Dooling founded Parabola Magazine to examine and explore, and get to the heart of, perennial human themes.
It was Dooling's intention that Parabola would convey true ideas and would be a setting in which certain essential truths that either have been forgotten or are not widely accepted in our time might be shown. She was determined to bring to light - with the assistance of writers, poets, artists, teachers of many traditions, cultures, and historic periods - those recurrent glimpses that have come to us throughout the history of humankind, ideas that may be expressions of eternal law - so that these ideas could shine again among thinking people.
After leading each issue through its course from conception to publication, she would sit down and sum up the learnings and special insights that had been uncovered, ideas that too often lay hidden from our casual daily observance. It is these short studies that are presented in The Spirit of Quest, a compendium of essays written during the last fifteen years of an extraordinary woman's journey of discovery.
The selection of poems, many of which are published here for the first time, invite us to enter and appreciate another dimension of Dooling's mind and heart. Here, she wrote about her deepest impressions as she traveled along her own remarkable spiritual and intellectual path.
