An Oasis in a Cluttered World (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

We live in a world that tears us apart, demanding our attention and time. There are moments when we want to scream and escape and let the burdens fall from our shoulders. An Oasis in a Cluttered World is a book that allows you chapter by chapter to immerse yourself in a quiet refuge as you forget the chaos. It beckons you to let go, relax, and savor life's many riches. There is also woven into the written pages a universal spiritual strand regarding life's journey and the understanding that evolves. The book is organized so that it can be read non-sequentially, start in the middle, or back if you desire. The book contains my poems written for those who enjoy thought provoking muses as well as lyrics that are understandable and unpretentious. Even if poetry is not your favorite genre, there are vignettes, short essays, and recommendations to captivate your interest. However, do not be surprised if your preconceived ideas regarding poetry are positively altered, as you read about the last leaf on a tree before the onset of winter or exotic Maui's magnificent Mt. Haleakala or reminiscence on a life-changing decision. As you read, we will be having a private conversation-a social interaction-my words and your thoughts and reactions. Where they take you will be your personal adventure. Occasionally, others will join us when you read the poems and vignettes written by guest authors. At the end of the book, you will have the option to offer your thoughts and even win some cash. In summary, An Oasis in a Cluttered World speaks to a mystical, quiet place where water for the soul is plentiful and the extreme heat of the desert and the blast furnace of sand no longer scorch and beat upon you.
