The Author has maintained a daily meditative writing practice for over five years which consists of a written prayer, a blessing, and a poem. Her collection is found in over 700 pages of writings. These writings are written while in deep contemplation and in the absence of cognitive thought for the purpose of obtaining inner peace and joy through a focus on a perfected state of consciousness while cultivating an interpersonal relationship with a higher self. Don’t Cry For Me is a compilation of some of those poems and created as a Dedication to the memory of the Author’s mother, Rita Aurora Gilbert who journeyed home in June of 2015.
