    About this ebook

    This collection of poems from Sister Susan Dewitt invites the reader on a holy journey through kitchens and gardens, women’s shelters and desert retreat centers and beyond. From the opening poem “Breath by Breath” beseeching Spirit to provide ailing lungs with a few more million breaths to the closing “Blessing for Quinn” wishing a grandniece a world of natural beauty into the future, these works evoke the sacred.

      “What’s home got to do… got to do with it? Who needs a home that will always be broken?” I can’t help singing those words in my head as I ponder the idea of what home could possibly mean to me. For six decades I have had the sense that Cape Town wasn
