“Twilight Surprise” poem:
“The sky burns down,
A rim of coals glowing gold and red,
Limned with orange again
And kissed with hints of pink.
The clouds reflect tangerine and plum,
Overshadowing the silent glory.
Darkness and light,
Balanced upon this equinox,
Dance together like old lovers …
… and beget beauty.”
― From Nature's Patient Hands

Dance together like old lovers …

“Campfire Companions” poem:
“What a longing they touched in me! Ah,
would that I could lose myself in the wilderness,
become a ghost of smoke and shadow,
moving so subtly through the lucid moonlight
that all my edges wore away.”
― From Nature's Patient Hands

“Wondering When the Strings Will Snap” poem:
“The marigolds herald autumn’s colors already
In their sun-shrine faces, iconographic
Floral worship of their distant deity -- yet they
Die at the first touch of frost, unlike chrysanthemums,
The true flowers of fall.”
― From Nature's Patient Hands

“It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt,
It lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills,
It comes first and follows after,
Ends life, kills laughter.”
― The Hobbit, or There and Back Again
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt,
It lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills,
It comes first and follows after,
Ends life, kills laughter.”
― The Hobbit, or There and Back Again
“Jake went in, aware that he had, for the first time in three weeks, opened a door without hoping madly to find another world on the other side. A bell jingled overhead. The mild, spicy smell of old books hit him, and the smell was somehow like coming home.”
― The Waste Lands

Soul on FireHello Elizabeth! :)
Just wanted to let you know that I am very much enjoying "From Nature's Patient Hands" and will write a good review for it as well. :) I love it! <3 As I was reading it last night, it reminded me of the book "Soul On Fire: A Transformational Journey From Priest to Shaman" by Peter Calhoun. I think this book will really resonate with you and I recommend it very warmly. <3
All the best,
Grace
