A Meeting of the Minds Linda Pendleton

Poetry is a bridge between the physical and spiritual worlds. The 19th century was an age of artistic renewal, rich in philosophy, poetry, and literature, and it was in the mid-19th century when Spiritualism came into the forefront and flourished in America and worldwide. Varied beliefs and practices grew from the conviction that the living and the dead could communicate and that there is a continuing life-cycle. Those beliefs were very much a part of the writings and social activities of many in literary circles. Dr. James Martin Peebles (1822-1922) was a leading American Spiritualist, prolific author, poet, clergyman, and physician. Dr. Peebles' literary endeavors and world travels allowed him an opportunity to meet many people within prestigious literary, political, and religious/spiritualists circles. Dr. Peebles wrote of the spiritual expressions of his friends and colleagues such as Walt Whitman, Emerson, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Longfellow, and several other well-known gifted men and women. Within A Meeting of the Minds, we have the words of those who have enriched us with their sensitive understanding of the wonders and beauty of life.
