INTRODUCTION

When I was a teenager, I wrote poetry for myself, which I wasn’t confident enough to share with anyone else. In the 1990s I, like many, discovered the New Age movement and meditation. I read many books and in 2012 started going to regular spiritual seminars, retreats, musical meditations and devotional events at a multi-faith temple. During a Sisterhood of the Rose retreat, all of the participants were asked to write a poem. That was when I wrote My Rose Petal Heart, which a couple of people said was good. I know it felt good to be writing poetry again.

After the seminar, I wrote a few more poems. They sat in a little book for a few years until I was researching for my upcoming memoir. I came across a magazine that published new poets’ work. I decided to send one of the magazines the poem written at the Sisterhood of the Rose seminar. In September 2019, The International Poetry Digest Monthly published My Rose Petal Heart and it was picked to be in their Best Poems of 2019 issue. I sent another poem, and in October 2019 the same magazine published Bitterness. In July 2020, The Cambridge-Hall Poetry Journal published Australian Brumby Love.

On the way to the discovery of my authentic life, I heard a voice within. It whispered poetry to inspire my journey and help me express emotions, releasing the numbness created by being part of humanity in the modern age of disconnection, and the fear and anger of changing. Being seen and heard takes self-love and belief. The beauty of words from my soul helped me connect to my heart and the love within, and to connect more deeply to myself and the universe.

It was obvious, by the rhyming going on in my mind, that I had more poems coming. I let them swirl around in my consciousness, and during meditation and spiritual practice I would capture the form and then write them down. I found the structure would come more easily the more I said yes to my soul, which I do with gratitude.

The Soul Whispers Poetry: contains 56 of my original poems, written during my spiritual journey. They express the deepening soul connection in my relationships to animals, nature, self and devotion.

Part One: each chapter includes poems of connection and change in a modern look at what is happening in the world now, and how our hearts are calling us to connect to our uniqueness and creativity.

. Part Two: Forgiveness can be just as much for ourselves as for others. It comes down to the question: do I want to be right, or to be loved? Do I want to rant until I lose my peace?

The forgiveness I have found in my relationships with animals, other people and even humanity’s relationship with nature has been very freeing. Forgiving myself, though, has changed my life. It has meant the chance to find a deeper love, to touch the beauty of my own compassionate heart. To feel like I belong, creating a peace that is more than just relaxing – it’s a state of being comfortable in my skin.

If someone forgives me when I make a mistake, it strengthens our bond.

It is a higher spiritual practice to not only forgive myself, others and the whole of humanity, but to send love to them as well. We might not agree with the actions forgiven, but by sending love, we understand it’s for the sake of peace that we ask for love’s help.

The greatest lessons in life humble us and sometimes bring us to our knees. These are the times when all it takes to get over what seems impossible is to get over ourselves.

In any relationship, after a little honesty, we can forgive and come to a deeper place of understanding, vulnerability and love.

It’s very freeing to understand that it is more for ourselves that we forgive, than for others. We could lose our peace and allow our energy to fall in vibration for nothing. The other person, or even humanity itself, is living life totally unaware of the grudge we are holding – so
