This collection of poems was written during a most difficult time in my life. I was goingthrough a divorce, my world having been turned upside down. Each piece in thecollection was a catharsis of sorts helping me to deal with my pain while at the same timeencouraging me to explore who I was as a woman. Joy and pain are juxtaposed throughoutthe body of work and reflect the extremes of emotion that I experienced.I've chosen to divide the work into three sections. Each grouping of poems reflects a chapterof my story. Each speaks to elements involved in the process of my continued journey ofself-discovery. The Sacred Feminine touches on the spiritual search that has been such adriving force throughout my life. Earth Mother has become increasingly more important tomy growth as I connect to elements in the natural world and feel their essence. The Seeker isthe optimist that is forever searching for the positive and the beauty that I know exists withinmyself and within those whom I love and cherish. The journey of self-discovery continues.I am aware that I am still in the process of Becoming.
