Synopsis

This volume of mostly lyrical poetry calls forth the sacred in every day, the ordinary and commonplace; the quotidian.  The poems reflect a deeply personal, contemplative inquiry regarding connections to nature, landscape, family, home, church life, and spiritual practice.  Included in this volume is a section of haiku: as witness to transformation in and around a reservoir. The poems embrace the mysteries of the Divine and the tapestries of ancient texts, exploring boundaries between the self and the collective. The poems are rooted in and illuminate the Feminine Divine.  Love, heartache, commitment, and loss conjoin with renewal, resiliency, grace, and attentiveness. These poems embrace difficult questions; a lived life presents and leaves the reader considering his or her own revelations and perhaps, resolutions.
