Susanne West's poems in
Subterranean Light
offer inspiration and evoke trust in the ways of Being. Readers are invited to open to spacious awareness in the midst of everyday experience and embrace joy, gratitude, and beauty as well as pain, loss, and heartbreak - light and dark. These poems are an invitation to unearth the gifts and teachings of adversity. There is the possibility of coming into sacred relationship with all aspects of life. Susanne West's poetry points to the inseparability of light and dark, human and divine. There are seven themes in the collection:
Ordinary Grace, What Illness Reveals, Turning Towards the Dark, The Mother Portal, The Hand of Death, Bowing to Silence and Light and The Here and Now. Transformational in their nature and deeply spiritual, this touching and heartfelt collection is for anyone who is interested in the integration of spirituality and daily life - those who are exploring ways to navigate the challenges of these times, people who are facing life crises, professional helpers, parents, family caregivers, teachers, and spiritual students.
