souldust: A Collection of Reflections

Do you sometimes feel as if life has ground you to powder, or smashed your last dream? Do you question the meaning of existence in the grand scheme? Do you ever see yourself as an insignificant mote of dust in the midst of a windstorm? Have you ever searched for answers in a cloud's changing shape, the ocean mist kissing your face, or in the lessons learned from longing, love, and loss?

In this debut collection of poetry and prose, I invite you into my way of looking at the world; through a lens of wonder and enchantment, in which particles of feelings and experiences shimmer and swirl in sunbeams and on cloudy days.

Through each of these poems, I channel the Muse through the magic I notice in Nature, in the unique details of each season, as I explore beauty in all its mysterious forms.

Join me on this journey as I travel from trauma to triumph, as I discover and uncover awe in the world that surrounds us, as well as the deeper one within.

Listen with me to the clarity found in the voice of soundless woods, in the quiet flight of birds, and in the myriad miracles that walk across the lake on which I live.

I wrote this book to be a kind of roadmap, a compass, a blueprint with which to create a rich appreciation of life's many blessings, a guide to being a divinely inspired human with feet planted firmly on the yielding earth.

May these verses elicit a nod of empathy, a sense of recognition and familiarity, and a shared conviction that there is a vast knowingness to the ever-evolving, benevolent Universe which reaches far beyond what our five senses perceive as "real."

Let these words soothe your troubled heart and mind, as they illustrate that, more than mere vessels of clay, we are cannons containing glorious confetti.

We are made of Souldust.
