The Fulcrum: A Spiritual Compendium of Poetry and Love Song

By Gingham Foulaurd

“All things can be answered through silence” —Gingham Foulard

The Fulcrum challenges us to find our authentic voice. In a world increasing in noise, we can often become deaf to ourselves. When we choose silence, we create space to receive. The poems within this book describe the breadth and depth of the spirit journey — with all of its challenges of creating space and the glory of silence.

Gingham Foulaurd

Gingham Foulard has always loved writing, but not poetry. Born with a passion for writing as a child, his love of poetry began much later in the struggle to find balance in a spiritual life. In poetry, he found one of the untapped secrets to becoming. In his writings, Gingham Foulard explores such themes as silence, the soul, duality, renewal, and how to tap into the divine child's voice within each of us. He hopes to help the reader truly dig to find their passion and in turn help others grow and find theirs.
