You cannot divert the winds of change, But with your own invincible will, You can reach out to those shifting currents, And holding them lightly in your hands, Begin to weave a pattern, Deliberate and intrinsically yours. Wind: wild, restless and unrelenting or gentle, calming and sustaining fill the poems in Weaving the Wind with emotional experiences that touch each of us. From a raging windstorm to the intoxicating fragrance of mimosas; from the drift of snowflakes to a leaf floating on a pond, the images in Weaving the Wind while depicting the erratic nature of weather offer us a possible perspective filled with hope and healing. In Weaving the Wind the reality that we cannot control the wind is a perfect metaphor for life's unexpected and unearned challenges that suddenly come into our lives disturbing plans and redefining who we are and what our true purpose is. The author offers poems that are dramatic, introspective and filled with intimate and soul-deep integrity.
