After fifty years of meditating, Ann Spier discovered her inner thoughts sometimes came in the shape of poetry. She had always loved poetry, from Rumi to Mary Oliver, but she didn’t trust herself to write it. How does one learn to play with these beautiful words? Then it just happened. Tenuously at first, then, with encouragement from others, she became more brave. RANDOM THOUGHTS is not only the bits and pieces of a spiritual journey, but also an intimate gaze into the heart and soul of a human being who knows there are no answers, only love.

Eclecticism describes Ann Spier’s background. With three advanced degrees in music, she has sung operas, taught music at the college level, and traveled the world in singing groups. She has been the broker/owner of two real estate offices, and operations manager of an investment office. But her first love is writing. She has published two previous books. TWELVE DOGS is the story of her life as told by her dogs. THE ZOO CHRONICLES is a futuristic story of two siblings trying to survive a soon-to-be uninhabitable earth. She lives in California with her husband and her dogs.
