Description

THE JOURNEY WITHIN THESE PAGES

In this book, you will go on a journey. The first chapter contains little fragments of philosophies and poetry about creation, exciting beginnings, love without pain, childlike wonder. Representing the time before the pain and trauma entered. This first chapter is called the sun. Its passages are bright, warm and vibrant.
However, when the sun shines for too long, or too bright, it burns. That’s why rain has to enter our lives; the second chapter.
This one is heavy, but also soothing. Heavy, because all the pain is captured within the pages of this chapter. Soothing because the pain, that had no shape, the pain that was intangible, has taken form within words. Rain represents perseverance, like trauma stays preserved within us.
But too much preservation robs you from growing again.
That’s when you will enter chapter three; the thunder. Because sometimes we have to meet that thunder inside ourselves, to break open new grounds and grow again. The thunder symbolizes; destroying the old, a new voice, a raging will to live and acceptance.

Spirituality

Although we experience them independent

the spiritual and material are inseparable

they both define life itself

in today’s world we may be programmed to focus on materialism

this book is a guide to self-exploring, self-reflection

for the part of us, we tend to ignore in daily life

the part of us that needs its understanding and healing too

our spiritual self

which needs inclusion within our awareness

Questioning and exploring

certain truths we live by

in society, in our relationships

with others and ourselves
