By Marie Louise Guste-Nix Modern life is unnatural, difficult, and at times overwhelming. Stress challenges us daily, and painful situations present themselves off and on in the course of life. Where do we find healing and consolation needed to recapture a sense of balance, wholeness and peace? In Restoring Soul, simple poems and powerful images suggest a lively Spirit at work with hearts - enlightening, illumining, and offering new strength. It is a book of personal restoration and growth through healing, blessed meetings, spiritual awareness and personal empowerment. Poems of healing showcase the power of laughter, humility, touch, rest, music, play, prayer and other gifts. Poems of encounter render defining moments such as meeting our spouse, our young ones, our "angels", our God. Poems of awareness suggest that with heightened attunement to life's process around us, we can bring wholeness to the stressed or broken heart. Finally, poems of empowerment speak of strengths we may choose for ourselves to restore the frayed fabric of our modern souls. Whatever be your challenge today, whether it is the daily grind or a major life crisis, you will find refreshment in these pages and a clue to coping and growing in strength of heart.
