Smoke and Shadows (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

It's a common thing. As we go through life, we discover that people and things are frequently not what they seem to be, and what we understand to be the truth of our own experience often turns out to be something quite different instead. Life is as full of illusions as it is of genuine experiences.

False friends abound. Trials hurt, but then deliver unexpected strength and blessings. People put up smokescreens to hide their true intentions or feelings; and only sometimes do we ever discover why. The world seems hateful until someone delivers light and love in a surprising way.

The poems in this new collection explore some of the illusions and deceptions people experience in their lives, the clarity and wisdom gained from hindsight, and the lessons we can learn from them.

"Smoke and shadows yield to glimpses of light-

Only then we begin to see:

When we learn to perceive things as they are,

We can have peace with whatever will be."
