'From a handful of Ashes' is a book of poetry that expresses life through the divides we often experience in the world and in our lives. It begins with reflections on the violent looting that erupted in July 2021 in Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa and then journeys through some Biblical truths and goes on to motherhood and just life within oneself and community. It gives expression to the sometimes seemingly hopeless situations we find ourselves. But when we look closely there is always some hope, some deeper truth, some meaning and peace to be found that is greater than ourselves. This book is for anyone who is looking to find words to express the inner journey of life in the context of the complexity of it. It is for anyone looking to find hope, love and peace midst what often seems 'a pile of ashes'. For those who want to ponder life in the context of faith. It is for those who want to delve a little deeper, and discover a deeper truth and meaning in: 'A handful of Ashes'.
