Scribbling On Blank Canvas Collection Of Poems PDF Download

Abandonment, abortion, verbal abuse, racial and sexual prejudice are just some of the issues covered in this book. These opportunities for growth are painted on this canvas with the hope and intention that others may come out of their closets, no longer having the need to hide any aspect of themselves they may have judged. Writing this book has been a healing journey for me and my hope is that others may also open the doors of their closets and set themselves free. Here are a few lines from one of the poems in this book "Looking Backwards At Your Life.."... "Only you have the power to surrender the mind's chatter. Only you can master the skills of loving yourself. When looking backward at your life, Embrace it and surrender all of life's eternal strife." This book tells the story before the story. Soon after writing "Presence...A Tapestry Of Love Through The Eyes Of The Soul," I realized I hadn't told the story of how I came to be with the love of my life and our first years together. In the beginning of the first book, my husband dies in a plane crash, leaving me three months pregnant and with a three year old son to raise by myself. A tapestry metaphor was used to weave stories and lessons from my life. When writing the second book "Blank Canvas 2013" I used the art of painting as a metaphor to create the rest of the story.
