Soul Carvings is a selection of poetry written in response to a crazy life. Writing down thoughts and feelings became an effective form of therapy for the author, and thinking "poetically" emphasized insights that might have been missed. Lessons came from life's greatest moments: falling in love ("Falling in Love With the God of the Sea"), having a child ("Child of Mine"), motherhood ("Vinyassa"), spiritual connections ("Even to the Tree"), and devotion ("The Ark I Build"). Others came from the most devastating trials, loss of loved ones ("Alone in the Sun"), divorce ("Fractured Mountain"), addiction ("Gusts of Addiction"), incarceration ("My Incarcerated Son"), abuse ("Back and Forth"), illness ("Inside Dementia"), joy in loss ("August Reunion"), changing course ("Down the Beach"), and so much more. Journaling her insights, the author found herself energized to keep moving forward with a song in her heart. Her heart-warming work became valuable to others who, amid trial and disaster in their lives, have sought to heal and hope to find joy again. Suzanne's poetry exhibits how you can find joy in discovering your inner strength ("One Thing Beautiful"), in lifting someone else ("The Heart of a Sister"), in giving yourself grace ("Erosion"), and forgiveness ("Tonight's Intervention"). There is joy in survival ("Oxygen"), evolution ("Airlift"), releasing the past ("Postcard"), embracing the future ("Dry Ocean"), and receiving nature's cosmic comfort ("A Breach Between Worlds")". "Joy arcs across the entire wingspan of love; romantic, parental, sibling, spiritual, charitable, empirical, self-love, selfless love, and even esoteric love. Together, joy and love are life-affirming. They raise the resonation in a room and the vibrational frequency of the mind and the heart. Together, they are the finest, most exquisite matter that feeds the human soul," Suzanne shares. Soul Carvings has become a lifting self-help tool that will encourage you to experience joy throughout the challenges, joy in the moments of crisis, and joy in all parts of the journey If you enjoy the writings of Carol Lynn Pearson, Sylvia Plath, Bob Dylan, or Wallace Stephens, you will enjoy this festival of language and emotions.
