Produktbeschreibung
Unpaused invites the reader to ease out of the safety zones and trust the open spaces, find fresh insights in entrenched views, share in the wonder of epiphanies encountered in both the sacred and the secular, and take the high road full of promise. Alice Scott-Ferguson is an insightful woman, a thinker, and a wordsmith. She affirms life in a broad sense, lamenting not only the children we'll never know, but also the flock of ewes bleating for their lambs, the dead bodies of those who die trying to cross borders to freedom, the soul-killing potential of angry words and betrayal, spiritual darkness that shuts out the life of Christ and hinders the sharing of life by friends, if only for a time. Alice's convictions of the all-encompassing power of God's love, and hope for reconciliation, shine through these verses, as well as her empathy for the aged, the infirm, the disabled, the lonely, the bereaved, and the outcast. Alice's poetic laments, observations, and critiques always come full circle, offering open possibilities called forth by compassion and hope. The 76 poems in Unpaused are organized into the following sections:Hurting and Hoping Ruminations and Reflections Nourishing Nature Takes on Theology Voices of Women The Darker Side The Lighter Side
