Sacred poetry holds transcendent possibilities...

In our world today, there is a yearning to connect to beauty, a rising tide of sensitivity and awareness of the immense difficulties we are facing, and a need to find a sense of redemption. Poetry offers this. It opens the window to paradox, giving voice both to the soul’s grief and its longing for the ecstatic. Julie Tara’s poetry falls in the tradition of the mystical poets who, through the magic of words, open the eye … and the soul … to the awareness of the infinite, of timelessness, of Presence. Such poems give the reader or the audience the opportunity to step out of the everyday and into the mystery that underlies the conscious mind. To enter into Songs of Gaia is to enter into a world where the desert wind becomes a wild woman’s breath, where the rivers you’ve drunk deeply from become the blood of the Mother’s veins, and where the sound of your beating heart becomes the rhythm of the very universe in which you live. Julie Tara is a sought-after inspirational speaker, empowerment coach, author, poet, and mother of three. She lives in Boulder, Colorado, basking in the creative power of the Rocky Mountains. http://bit.ly/SongsOfGaia
