Publisher's Synopsis
A book with the capacity to open the mind and heart. Poet, Susannah White, has penned a candidly, albeit unflinching account of her journey to a spiritual life. She chooses to 'walk in grace, ' giving herself the freedom to feel every human emotion without shame, asserting that we are too quick to medicate the mind, rather than meditate and find our true essence. I found the book refreshing; speaking to our long held western beliefs, steeped in our formation, religious affiliations, rather than using our soul based compass in our approach to feeling God, energy or light within us. An excerpt which I found compelling was found in the piece, "Journey to Heaven." Susannah succinctly wrote, "Just as a photographer filters through their shots, we must do the same - with meticulous care! Throw out the shots that take up unwanted space, learn the lesson and move on." In other words, if it does not serve you - release it.The author has spent a great deal of time connecting with her true self; the lessons she gleaned, as well as the ones she shares, will cause the reader to pause and re-evaluate their love of life and whether they approach love of others tepidly or with authenticity. A wonderful thought provoking and enlightening book.- Brenda-Lee Ranta author, Myriad of Perceptions
