Message to the Reader
My dear reader,
I wrote these words especially for you
Open your eyes and take a long breath
Look at the mirror and hear to the sound of your heart!
It is the sound of love!
Love yourself Sing to yourself
You are the light
All places belong to you
All flowers belong to you
All things belong to you
You are the definition of life
The world needs you
The world needs your smile
Love yourself again, always, and forever.
Reviews
“These vivid and expressive poems show such a scope of humanity, from despair, to hope, the desire for liberation, and the desire to simply disappear. I felt so many things reading these poems, and I am honored to have been a part of this project….”— Ken Tanaka, illustrator of Aerie Tales
