Poetry from writer and poet, Beth May.

Long beloved for her artful prayers, best-selling author Joyce Rupp presents an entirely new collection of 106 meditative poems on a theme she has woven masterfully through all her writing--the pain of loss and the hope of restoration. My Soul Feels Lean is a journey into compassion. Drawing on insights from her Christian faith and a lifelong connection to the Iowa farmland of her birth, Joyce Rupp explores themes of loss and restoration in this luminous collection of poems. Returning to an undercurrent in her work since the publication of Praying Our Goodbyes, Rupp offers here sensitive insights on the pain of loss and the hope she finds when she is willing to let go and trust. Rupp's leanness of soul has taught her to observe and celebrate the harsh beauty of life. "Loss has encouraged me to find joy and meaning here instead of pining for it elsewhere," she writes, "to live more simply and be content with less, to appreciate more fully what I now have."

My Belief... We are all basic products of our environment, but possibility for changing. I was raised by my grandmother and grew up in a spiritual and compassionate loving environment. We are all spiritual being having a human experience. We live in two worlds, spiritual and natural. We are not able to see the spiritual world with the natural eye. It takes the light and Jesus is the light of the world. When he left earth and ascend into heaven, his spirit was left behind to guide us. (The Believers) His spirit is the light that lives in our heart. As long as you have the light, the enemy can't easily slip upon you. But those that live in darkness, the enemy use them to destroy, rob and kill. How do you defend yourself against an enemy you can't see or be aware of? We walk by faith and not by sight, because of the light. I would like to acknowledge my daughter Dr. Callie Lalugba for her input at the age 15 for some of the poems she wrote, also for the inspiration of my youngest daughter Jennifer Sparks. I pray a blessing to all that read and enjoy my poetry.

The author Gurpreet Dhariwal is as dark as the nightmare you have had and as sweet as the sugar in your last chocolate shake. There is no mediocrity for her; she is either all of it or nothing. She detests the magical hustle- bustle of city life as she belongs to the old school class. She finds her bliss in the world of prose, poetry and stories. She gives a damn how the world perceives her as it took her a great deal to wear her scars on her sleeve and accept her flaws as strengths . Her world revolves in and around books and she is an avid reader. She travels to places she reads about, makes friends with the characters, falls in love and fights with demons she gets to face everyday in people. https://www.linkedin.com/in/kaurgurpreet https://www.facebook.com/dhariwalmusings https://m.facebook.com/mysoulrants https://www.instagram.com/my_soul_rants/ www.twitter.com/@mysoulrants www.medium.com/@dhariwalgurpreet https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/54364690-gurpreet
