"Be like the lotus, undiscouraged by its surroundings, rises from the depths of a murky pond, its petals perfume the air, as it flowers and blooms brilliantly, purely, divinely, despite and probably because of its origins." (A quote attributed to Buddha)
Every book -whether autobiographical, fiction, poetry or general interest -comes out of the author's inner being. Some go deeper into that place than others do. My Pen and Soul comes out of a very personal journey.
In this pocket-size, easy-to-read book, I will present to you some meaningful fragments of my life as a daughter, a mother, an artist, a musician, a nurse. Life is made up of fragments. Some fragments blossoms into a Child's Poem, Mother's Poem, Father's Poem, Poem for Husband, Challenges, English Love Poems, Freedom Poems, Friendship Poems, Poems on Hope, Music, and Nature, Nurse's Poem, Poems for an Artist, Poem for Athlete, Poem for Grandma, and so on. Some of them become stories and some of them are just pieces of a larger story. Some fragments are singular moments in time. Forgettable or life-changing they all have their place. Indeed, this book focuses on everything and anything making these poems collection as diverse as life itself.
