To dare is to lose one's footing momentarily. Not to dare is to lose oneself. Soren Kierkegaard It is often said that the most important relationship we have in life is the one we have with ourselves. Within this idea is a path of self-discovery and self-understanding in relationships with others - implying that our best life teachers are those with whom we have the closest connections. In this collection of poems, the author reveals her trajectory of self-understanding - evolving from a deliberate conscious desire to fulfil her potential to love and be loved. She gives herself permission to experience the risks as well as the joys that would inevitably ensue. The collection provides glimpses into a life-altering journey as it flows from 'deep and reflective' poems in Part I, to the 'hopes and dreams' love poems of Part II, and the 'light and joyful' connections with nature in Part III. An opportunity to create her own large expansive garden on top of a hill in sub-tropical Queensland, allowed the author to become fully immersed in nature's abundant gifts - perceptually, physically and metaphysically - thereby finding unexpected treasures within herself.
