Book Details
Archaeology of the Soul, Artifacts of a Lifetime
This poetry collection is archaeology of the soul, exploring events and feelings to discern deeper truths. In gathering and refining poems written over many years, distinct lifetime stages emerged, each with particular interests and longings. Individual poems depict slices of time that illuminate vivid moments or mundane experiences to distill their insight. Crisis strikes, bliss surprises, humor heartens. Mistakes chasten and love heals. Forgiveness brings recovery, meditation serenity. The poems reveal deepened understanding with age, and readers may find echoes of their own discoveries. Together, these poetic glimpses suggest the essence of a full life edging toward conclusion with acceptance and peace.
