Night Words

Languages : en
Pages : 247
Book Description
There are times when the feelings are so deep and intense that it's difficult to find words to express them. Night Words is filled with 117 works of poetry and prose that pulls back the veil to reveal the deep, raw, and intense feelings that accompany our experiences in life and love. Each piece was written during the night hours, a time filled with an energy that feels much different than that we experience during the day. Perhaps it's due to different areas of the brain becoming more active, or that somehow the veil between our spirits and the great mystery grows thin with the absence of light. Whatever the reason, night feels different and leads one to paths of thought and feeling that may otherwise remain hidden in the shadows. Night Words takes you on an inner journey of the soul and helps you connect with your deepest truths.

Prayers to the Infinite
Author: Danna Faulds
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780974410630
Category : American poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 98
Book Description
Author of "Go In and In" and "One Soul," two popular books of yoga poetry, Danna Faulds writes from the heart of her spiritual practice. She says of this book: "When prayer began to come alive inside me, I was fascinated and embarrassed, captivated and confused. I had long since given up any rigid notion of an anthropomorphic, judging God, yet here I was in intimate dialogue with sometime bigger than myself. I didn't know quite what to make of this. Over time, as I looked closely at my prayer life, I uncovered a remarkable fact: the very act of personally addressing the Infinite opened me to a different experience of self and other, one in which I sensed divinity as an interior part of all things. Prayers are my attempt to translate into words some of my deepest inner longings. They are an offering of passion, love, fear, anxiety, gratitude and pain. Praying is one way to connect with Spirit, a doorway into the fluid and creative energy I call God, Lord, the One, Beloved, the Infinite and All That Is. Inevitably this dialogue began to find its way into my poetry, and this book is the result. It is an eclectic mix of prayer-poems and other poetry arising in my yoga and meditation practice, my observations of the natural world, and from facing life as it has come to me over the last year."

In many ways, Valerie Doshier was a typical young woman born in the Texas Panhandle.

Outwardly, she had everything a young woman was supposed to want-but she wanted more.She once wrote, "Do not sway my sweet, sweet soul; do not sway.Do not find yourself anywhere near the middle."For Valerie, the middle road represented mediocrity and an unfulfilled life. She was somehow able to glimpse behind the veil and see that life offered so much more than working to pay bills until you die. She never swayed from her vision, even after being diagnosed with terminal cancer.With an unflinching love for life and others, she set out on a courageous journey that is both an example and an inspiration for a world that's hurting.
