Who will buy this book? Those interested in modern poetry, or in the process of self-care.The water-lily has long been a symbol of consciousness. The heart a symbol of feelings and compassion. These poems speak of a quest to bring awareness to the heart, mirror its experience, and marry consciousness with compassion. This a journey blessed with beauty and with pain. How can it be otherwise, when it is of life itself? - of love, loss, longing, and of regaining something essential - of finding and honouring the divine child within - of melding innocence with wisdom and becoming ever more ensouled.
