Sinopsis

What breaks when the heart is broken?Not the heart,Only the thin shell I wrote my name on,Only the house that stood for years shaking.áThe Well at the DesertâÇÖs Heart - Verses of Healingáoffers a trove of insights in verses of remarkable beauty and perception that emerge through the depths of grief and heights of love into a wider appreciation of life.ááAlone, wraithlike, I walk through this landscape,With the ghost of a child for company.áI follow him, walking in his footsteps,He is leading me back, back to the place,Where my soul first woke to the worldâÇÖs beauty,When the limitless sky and I were one.áThis book explores the soulâÇÖs moments of deep anguish and grief, finding a way through the greatest losses while processing difficult emotions.Speechless by the sea in the early dawn,Watching the buzzard climb the spiralled air,I canâÇÖt reach you my love with my tired words,So I build with my prayer a bridge of light.In BowlandâÇÖs evocative descriptions of beingááout in the fenland landscape of Cambridgeshire, meditative and reflective words act as a healing balm finding a wholeness in the natural world -áI seek the quiet places by the riverAnd I stand still for hours in the clearingTill I know my self as the quiet placeAnd the clearing for the indwelling lightáEncouraging us toááexamine our sense of identity, and advising âÇÖTo this moment surrender your storyâÇÖ,áthis collection promotes integration on an individual and collective level, a rejection of othering, and a deeper connection to ourselves, to one another, to nature and to God.áDrawing on Sufi mysticism and informed by an anti-war stance, it presents a healing vision of oneness, and conveys the essential message in our polarised world that âÇÖNo âÇÖidentityâÇÖ needs to self-defendâÇÖ.áListen, who we are is mysterious,there is no âÇÖyou and IâÇÖ, no âÇÖus and themâÇÖ.áá
