    About this ebook

    Come to me now in diaphanous white,

    surrounded by hues of lemon, violet, bright

    blue. You are the hue I search for

    in the dark winter light to cue me

    Beverly Botelho wants everyone to embrace the sacred in daily life. In her collection of inspirational poems and other writings, Botelho explores diverse topics that include the depth of human emotion, nature, and Gods strength and love for humanity.

    With the intent of lifting the human spirit, Botelhos poems reflect on human frailty, morning strolls, friendship, love, grace, faith, and prayer. Included are parables that open the mind to a new way of looking at the creation of life, the true meaning of Gods presence, the role the heart plays in all decisions, and the importance of finding and understanding a purpose in life.

    Angel, Mine shares poems and parables that will inspire spiritual seekers to approach and view the world with new eyes.

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.
