offers a trove of insights in verses of remarkable beauty and perception that emerge through the depths of grief and heights of love into a wider appreciation of life. This book explores the soul's moments of deep anguish and grief, finding a way through the greatest losses while processing difficult emotions. In Bowland's evocative descriptions of being out in the fenland landscape of Cambridgeshire, meditative and reflective words act as a healing balm finding a wholeness in the natural world - Encouraging us to examine our sense of identity, and advising 'To this moment surrender your story', this collection promotes integration on an individual and collective level, a rejection of othering, and a deeper connection to ourselves, to one another, to nature and to God. Drawing on Sufi mysticism and informed by an anti-war stance, it presents a healing vision of oneness, and conveys the essential message in our polarised world that 'No 'identity' needs to self-defend'.
