Winter’s Invitation

Winter’s Invitation is an opportunity to pause just as the holiday season draws us into its demands and incessant activity. These poems provide a sanctuary for quiet reflection and a resource for the high energy and excitement of the season. They are lyric and elegant with a resonance and rhythm that moves through the words. They vibrate with meaning on levels that surprise the reader with each new reading, not just at the holidays, but throughout the year. Reading the poems engages us in the deeper significance of the holidays, the light festivals and traditions, both ancient and personal, that we cherish. Their message is always one of resilience, compassion and peace.

What a wonderful world this could be if only a few more people could look at Christmas, and other times of the year, with the thoughts and feeling you put in your poetry.

What lovely poetry! It inspired me and I am setting up a Christmas tree which I had no intention to do until your poem arrived. Thanks for reminding me of the importance of rituals.
