Before I share with you what the book is about, an invitation:
I'd love to connect with fellow readers and authors who resonate with this theme/expression. If that's you, let's connect!
And now, the book!
There are profound reasons to contemplate the immortality of our souls and the mortality of our physical body. Whether we’re aware of it or not, our relationship with aging and dying does affect our relationship with life and the way we live it every day. Do we receive each day as a gift? Do we live in fear? Do we use our time wisely?
And yet, we rarely take time for such contemplations. Perhaps because our culture doesn’t quite encourage us to do so. Or perhaps because matters of life and death are impossible to grasp with our rational mind.
But then we have poetry. Here, there is a tradition to explore these ultimate themes of our existence. With its freedom of language and perception, poetry seems like just the right window through which we can look and see what escapes our awareness otherwise.
Welcome to a poetry collection and a special journey into the nature of aging and dying, and at the same time, into a celebration of life and the joy of living!
