About this ebook
Two of Judith's newest poems, "Castles of Sand" and "Crystal Beaches", are examples of the author's passionate cries voicing inequality for mankind, with greed totally violating harmonious guardianship of our Earth. They were, penned mid 2010 after the devastation caused to the world by corrupt governments, big banks, and big corporations (particularly BP) was, realized. Abstract Musings correlates social and moral conscience, deigned through thought and vision by a questing soul, displayed lyrically within the pages of this volume.
Judith LaHaie
Poet/artist, Judith LaHaie was born and raised in Hastings, a small town mostly of Scottish descent in Michigan during the 1950's and 1960's. Her memories are keen and happy whence growing up in a neighborhood where everyone was related and people shared all aspects of daily life. Judith, the sixth child out of eight children learned early that family, school, and the Episcopal Church were supreme. Loving to draw, paint, read, sing, dance, swim, bike, boat, play, wander, stargaze and daydream looking at the clouds, alone, defines the quiet freeness of her spirit as a youth. She remembers her parents were always busy working and socializing, yet made time for outings of every type. Their cottage on, Algonquin Lake built by Judith's father was where many, many wonderful times were spent. This was where her brother, Johnny drowned as a boy, devastating the family. Being overly shy as a child and unable to speak for herself Judith's thoughts explored more than the known, not comprehending what played within her mind. Years of change and wondering why things were as they were, led to examining and understanding life's puzzling ways. This cognizance revealed that abstract musings unlock the door to imagination's way and truth, the groundwork for her poetry. One of the most beautiful places to live, Seagrove Beach, Florida is where Judith has resided since 1993. She adores the pristine seashore and landscape of the area, though she pines for Michigan's lovely countryside and waters. Living in Florida has wrought numerous experiences, which form the basis for a good portion of her works. Judith, like so many creative people is bipolar, and in 2005 after realizing her disorder was a problem, decided a change of scenery was, needed. Spending most of the next several years in Michigan visiting her family was the remedy but not the cure. Writing poetry is very important to the author because it allows her to reach out to help others understand that we all share the same consciousness entangled with good and evil. She feels that everyone is a bit crazy, striving to seem normal in a misfit world. Believing we are all nomads wandering toward a destiny of light or darkness while being blindsided daily, her poetry emphasizes our difficult journey is a test of faith to the end. Judith knows too well, that the spirit falters while searching for happiness and meaning of life if derailed by lust for material things of no real value. Caring for our beautiful Earth and its inhabitants along with sharing its blessings and sorrow is our duty and our glory. Life is a gift from GOD.
