A beautiful collection of moving and thought- provoking poems from mystics of all traditions that will encourage you to listen to your own heart, marvel at the wonder of nature and explore profound truths of life, death, eternity and the Divine.

From the Bhagavad Gita, the Vedas and the Song of Solomon to Rumi and Rilke, all the great mystical writers are here. Find words of poetic wisdom in Attar, Ansari, St Teresa of Avila, Lao Tzu, John Donne, John Bunyan, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Christina Rossetti, Walt Whitman and many more.

When your soul hungers for peace, understanding or comfort, there's no answer as profound as poetry. In our fast-spinning world of noise and busyness, where we may often feel disconnected from our own spirit, these poems provide true nourishment for the soul.

Beautiful!

I loved working my way through this book. Some of the pieces /poems are better than others but all are beautiful. Whether you have Faith or not, this is a book that everyone can find something in it for them.
Thanks to NetGalley and the author for the opportunity to read this amazing book!

Lovely book but not for me

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 September 2020

Well laid out poetry book, with many references to faith.

But unfortunately I did not enjoy this book. Some pieces of poetry were well written and thoughtful, but this book was not for me.

I'm sure that it will appeal gratefully to many other though.
