Paperback. Condition: New. These are poems for our time, which stir as well as make us reflect. Flowing between childhood and adulthood and ranging from the deeply personal to the universal, themes of motherhood, adoption, birth and loss, nature, the everyday transformed, are woven together in poetry which reaches out to the reader and invites us to pay attention. Many of the poems are responses to the rawness of life: from the ache of relationships gone wrong, to our impact on the natural environment, and the capricious cruelty of war. They look at the world unflinchingly, not letting us get too comfortable, but always with warmth, humanity and a thread of hope at their core. Jane brings the reader up short with an unsparing observation, then in another poem considers the small and precious - a single sparrow, a garden plant. She explores form and plays with words, surprising the reader in every poem. With a lyrical use of language which is continually arresting, these poems touch life's peripheries, acknowledging its rough edges, but always with eyes open, waiting for a message, watching for the signals.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - A new collection of poetry that inhabits the space where emotion, memory, and intellect combine to illuminate the many strands of human experience.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - There is something in a Quaker concern that is inherently communal. a relationship between the individual and the meeting, between personal leading and group discernment. Imagine an oak tree, broad and strong, its roots reaching deep and wide. The acorn took a while to germinate, but even before that, interesting and invisible things were happening inside it. Once it germinated, it needed nourishing soil and protection. Now it has a strength and a life of its own. Here is our corporate tested concern, rooted in and growing out of Quaker beliefs. Have you ever wondered what Quakers mean when they talk about a 'concern' While each personal experience is unique, this book outlines some general principles. It follows the course of a concern from initial promptings to testing, developing and acting on it, and eventually perhaps laying it down. The author also explores other ways in which Quakers might share their experience of living out their faith in their daily lives. Jane Pearn draws on her interest in language and her 30 years as a Quaker to consider the meaning of concern in her own life and in the lives of others. A Woodbrooke Eva Koch Scholarship in 2016 enabled her to spend time reflecting on past Quaker writings and listening to Friends' expressions of being led by the Spirit today.…
