Book details
Overview
Calming the Wilderness was inspired by observing nature of the human kind and of the natural world. This collection of poems offers fresh insights into the joys and challenges of living in the high desert and discovering the gifts of its wildness and wilderness. From wildflowers to wildlife, the author presents the beauty and mystery that nature exudes and reflects on our connections to it as human beings.
Description
When the author's mother faded away into the wilderness of her mind and later died from dementia, the author began to examine the relationship between the challenges of the natural world with those that we encounter as human beings, hence the title. There will always be times when we face wind and cold, drought and desert in our own lives, much as nature does. The author's hope is that you will also discover amazing vistas from mountaintops and rainbows after the storm.
Appropriate for all ages - young and old - Calming the Wilderness provides a glimpse of how ordinary natural circumstances become extraordinary encounters with nature that last a lifetime.
