The Way Home is a collection of modern poetry that captures the essence of seasonal change and the profound impact nature has on the human spirit through thought-provoking exploration of the connection between humans and the natural cycles.
“This book was born from a soul deep yearning to connect to something greater than myself when life circumstances were at their most difficult. As all of my ego-driven plans were crashing and burning around me, I did not know what else to do, so I began spending as much time in the solitude of nature as I was able to. Through the presence of every sentient creature and plant life I encountered, I discovered that to be immersed in the natural world is to be held in the heart of Mother Nature, the heart of God.
As I began piecing my life back together from all the plans that had failed, I began searching for a new path and a new way of being. During this time, my soul found respite in putting pen to paper as I poured the contents of my heart onto each page. I was able to quiet the over thinking mind through connection to the plants, animals, and the elements around m.e Little did I know at the time, I would find the way home back to myself, to my heart, and my creativity through immersing myself in nature and observing the transformations occuring within and around me.”
