The pandemic provides the foreground, but the poems also address timeless universal themes such as love, life, and death, and the longing for union and freedom. They explore what it means to be alive and deeply connected to the natural world, going to the heart of mindful living and non-dual wisdom. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 104 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 25 November 2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: John Hunt Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the early hours of nearly every morning during the Covid lockdown in the months of March and April 2021, a peculiar phenomenon unfolded. Mysteriously, poems began arriving, akin to persistent early morning visitors. What made it even more intriguing was the fact that the author's wife was absent for the entirety of this time, leaving behind an open notebook, a blank page, and a pen. To her amusement, instead of her, the notebook found itself filled with nearly 40 poems, written by Martin, who had never ventured into the realm of poetry before. While the pandemic serves as the backdrop for this collection of poems, they are also inspired by timeless universal themes, symbolized by elements such as a snowdrop, a park bench, or an olive tree. These themes emerged through conversations about love, life, and death, as well as news items and random images. However, the most profound source of these poems lies in that deep longing for union and freedom that resides at the core of each individual.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe poems in this collection delve into the essence of what it means to be alive and deeply connected to the natural world. They explore the intricacies of mindful living and non-dual wisdom, offering insights into the profound interconnectedness of all things. Through their words, the author invites readers to cultivate a deeper appreciation for the world around them and to embrace the beauty and complexity of existence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs the pandemic continues to shape our lives, these poems serve as a reminder of the resilience and adaptability of the human spirit. They offer a glimpse into the depths of our emotions and the power of creativity to transcend circumstances. Whether read alone or shared with others, these poems provide a source of solace, inspiration, and hope during these challenging times.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 132g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 141 x 215 x 11 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781785359316\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Martin Wells","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44100174512378,"sku":"9781785359316","price":7.72,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1669387856861_book.jpg?v=1669751816","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/lost-for-words-the-poetry-of-mindfulness-and-nonduality-9781785359316","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
