Search: A Journey through Personal Chaos
"Search, a Personal Journey through Chaos", is a narrative of first hand experience rehearsing with exquisite discernment memories of temporal events connected by a single thread of eternal validity. Under circumstances of acute need and bitter tension, positive action expressing human sympathy and goodwill appears from time to time in the “hurricane of universal grief” to soften anguish and kindle hope.

Though letters of thanks have flowed in year after year to the offices of relief agencies, the recipients of their care have seldom attempted to add to the statistical surveys and the many statements of purpose and method what might be called the “critique by eternity.” We have here a glimpse of the relationships between the relief worker and the persons who, through man-made disorder, present the occasion for his ministrations. These pages written by an experienced writer will encourage faith in emergency measures for relief of suffering and experiments for promoting international understanding. Though such measures are as yet insufficient to stem the tide of global conflict, yet they bear witness to the fact that mankind does not unanimously assent to mass belligerency and hate. From these experiences it is also apparent that personal inadequacy on the part of the worker limits and may even vitiate the best endeavors.

About the Author

Ruth Domino (later Domino Tassoni) was born in Berlin in 1908. When she fled the Nazis in 1940, she unexpectedly ended up at Pendle Hill. The Mexican Government had originally offered her asylum, but her ship came to the United States. She taught German to relief workers on campus during her tenure as an instructor at Pendle Hill. In 1950, she returned to Europe. In addition to her Pendle Hill pamphlet, she wrote several books, including A Play of Mirrors, a collection of poetry in Italian. Daniel Hoffman recently retranslated that work. She also published three volumes of short stories in German, her native language.
