Reflections of the Self
/A collection of poetry, insights, and wisdom born of silence.
When we simply sit and observe the contents of our consciousness, we are granted access to a kind of instinctual wisdom. One that is both a reflection of the self and the universe. As we sit, we grow calm. Our body relaxes and our mind settles. Physical tension leaves and mental hang-ups are processed. Unfolding slowly, but inevitably.
The poems and discussions that follow are products of silence. I sit, and they appear, either in totality or as enough of an outline that I can complete them. The writing process, for me at least, is a practice of total surrender and discovery. I do not choose the words that are to appear on the page, rather, it is as if the poem already exists and I am merely tasked with finding and sharing it.
I hope this book inspires you to embrace your own silence, and to increasingly live by its teachings.
