Ecological Meditations (ePub)

Ecological Meditations A Collection of
Poems is a unique book of poetry that
reveals layer upon layer of insight into
the human condition. Each poem is focused
upon the heart of a particular thought,
emotion, experience, or subject of study.
The poems unfold sometimes logically, and
sometimes with an element of surprise or
wonder, transporting the reader into a realm that can be touched by a
consciousness of all the sense faculties.
The poems address universal principles and are close to nature both
human and ecological. The insights revealed are based upon deep
reflection and meditation upon the primary thought or feeling behind
the poem.
Ecological meditations is about an extended ecology one that begins
with the individual gaining a consciousness of self in relation to nature,
moving forth into relationships both intimate and casual, extending
further into personal growth that understands and equally questions
received societal wisdom. Religion is regarded with regard to spiritual
development and due respect is paid to the Hindu and Christian faiths.
In reading the poems, at times one gets the feeling that beyond religion
there exists a universal ethic of respect for life that is informed by
good science, love, and the desire to be joyful and positive in all manner
of being.
The audience of this book can be the teenager who is looking to
find meaning, or even the career person who is fully engaged, and
surprisingly, also the elderly person whose nest is now empty. The lover
and the seeker, both will find something of lasting value within these
pages. Ecological Meditations is a book of poems with appeal for almost
everyone who has the inclination for self reflection."
