Cit Ananda experiences language as a proxy, pointing to the unspeakable majesty of life. Her poetry is frequently inspired by direct experience, captured in the moments between perception when the mind falls quiet and deep silence shares an offering that touches the mystery of life’s majesty. She will tell you she catches poetry on the winds of the universe. There is a thread in all her work of the sacred, sometimes explicitly and sometimes implicitly, but it is always there just as it is always present in the flow of life. She holds a Doctor of Divinity in yogic philosophy and lives with her husband, two children, a fox-red lab, a rescue cat and a calico bunny in Idaho. Cit Ananda has had work published or forthcoming in Mountain Path, Tiferet Journal, Amethyst Review, Soul-Lit, Offerings: A Spiritual Poetry Anthology from Tiferet Journal and El Portal. She is also the author of When Silence Speaks: Messages from the Heart, a full-length poetry book. Explore more at https://www.beingcitananda.com/publications.
