Poetry can offer its readers a portal to aspects of their own souls not previously consciously realized. And that's what happens in this richly perceived collection of poems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis author's soul journey is woven in poetry with the central theme of light and dark. Traveling through the myriad vehicles of relationship: encounters with nature, the seasons, nearby creatures, intimacy with flowers and weeds, and not least of all the loving and harrowing relationships with kindred souls. These poems expose the tender and healing possibility of the inner work of redemption. A wider relationship with the world-at-large is met with deep contemplation and inquiry, all part of the author's vivid exploration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs an affectionate observer of the living world, the author brings surprising insights and opportunities for wonder, which are threaded throughout in touching and humorous accounts. The reader is also invited to gently and sometimes not so gently enter the often-avoided inner realm, which is again reflected in the outer landscape. This is a voyage that brings us into a mystical viewing through a lens of beauty, sensuality and insight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWords Between Darkness and Light expands awareness of the soul\/spirit presence in the seen and unseen that surrounds us. From the first poem's close encounter with the Beloved to the next Awakening from a dynamic moon, the psyche is evident. Spirit in all its various expressions is present throughout, not infrequently imbued with the Divine Feminine, often hidden from the liturgies and texts of Western Religion. This work provides a window into sacred rigor, particularly in the challenging relationship with one's mind. Meditative clarity opens into the vastness of The Greater Mind, from which we may newly behold the sentience permeating everything, from the small and ordinary to the expanse of the sky.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOf the Blue\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCan our hearts be large enough oceans to hold\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe love that comes from the sky?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCan we bear its serenity - flooding us with stillness\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ein its free embrace? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCan we envision all that has been extinguished, stirred\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand newly lit up into luminous blue?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCan we, even if briefly, dwell in this in-between place -\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewhere life dust mingles in its twilight of matter?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCan we imagine its boundless province to forever be in the \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ebackground as worlds spin and unravel their stories \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eagain and again?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCan we fathom its azure veil of protection\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eshielding us from the unendurable face of God?\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 202\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.46 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 16, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52476784181555,"sku":"9798988929109","price":26.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/xuyrWsTZ1m9798988929109.webp?v=1759596800","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/words-between-darkness-and-light-poems-by-una-kobrin-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
