Elevation

Sometimes venting, sometimes ranting, and sometimes raving. This book takes you through three distinct styles; part inspirational, part personal feeling and part universal thought. This poetry is uncensored, uncorrupted and serious food for thought. Deep and meaningful the words capture more than her essence but share her voice.
Innocent and confident at age twelve. She almost commits suicide over religion and world affairs. She was saved by angels that knew that knowledge for the sake of knowing, then teaching yourself to write and loving researching the answers would save her life.

Elevation started where her life began, as a twelve-year old girl discovering the world. Troubled by life she became a writer to express her inner thoughts and emotions. In researching these thoughts for enlightenment, a life of harmony followed. Finding completion in a quest for world peace and humanity these poems share an open heart and mind. Being raised by: "Speak only when spoken to" and "Be seen not heard". She learned to express the desire to be seen and heard. The passion to be heard became habit and necessity to write. Whether by choice or chance she wrote about everything concerning life. What people said, what they didn't, and showed in body language. She watched and with that; saw a purpose.

Elevation became habit and then purpose. She found freedom because the paper did not control her desires. Expression, love and desire were free to move from page to page. "By habit I wrote about the problems that which would come and go. Write through it, about it, and write a new way of seeing life." "Purpose ... it reminds me to keep writing for truth and reality. To show that life is worth a living record." The principle that she believes is "Now is now". Staying in the now and the present is the conclusion. To stay in the moment, to stay in motion and into the next moment are a perpetual motion of thought, reality and in personal poetry. Finally realizing that it is her childhood dream to be a book on the shelf, she shares the moments of her life as young person to adult. - A liberation of the three decades of the learning and feeling through these living pages.
