It simply never was and never will be. Poetry is a spiritual endeavour first, the voice of the universe manifesting in range that cannot be measured or contained.\u003cbr\u003ePoetry is life. Poetry is about taking the truths of the universe and focusing it into a drop of blue ink and then having the words expand in a reader's mind, beyond the space between their ears and their years. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhy do you think we spend so much time and energy learning about my peers, reciting the words written in ages past by the Gibrans and the Shakespeares? We are trying to connect our human consciousness across space and time, distance and history, knowing that there's a possibility that the future might be impacted by our words. In between the pages and screenshots we are hoping to find that elusive meaning and richness of life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLife is spiritual. Our every walking, waking moment is refined by an energy that we cannot see and scientists are just beginning to discover fully. It has not stopped this spirituality from being taken for granted, manipulated by the music industry, entertainment complexes, sports monopolies and the broadcast media so that sometimes the vortex of feelings and beliefs threatens to overwhelm us. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn walks myself with a broken pen, spilling ink with every breath I take, watching 0's and 1's become \u003ci\u003eoohs\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eaahs\u003c\/i\u003e of a fickle minority\/majority. Our faith promises peace by trusting in Jesus, even in the most adverse circumstance (John 14:27). The takeaway is that this peace is not defined by the situation but by your spiritual existence and connection to something greater than you. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhether you believe spirituality is a detriment to society or a supplement to our morality, ignoring the spiritual in our lives is denying our self the ability to grow, to love, to change, to plan and to find peace. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEveryone should have a poem that resonates with them. A poet and a writer that brings a truth within them into the outer realm. What is your favourite book of poetry or quotes or devotions that concludes the day and\/or opens the night? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMy true peace starts within with acceptance, that we all need poetry in our lives. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWelcome to my Inner Sanctum. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDwight Thompson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gelette Thompson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tamarindinkwells\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/29\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 158\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.34d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781961308145\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tamarindinkwells","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":41160108081267,"sku":"9.78196E+12","price":21.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_a057b14e-ae4f-4412-b7aa-21dcd560d5c6.jpg?v=1702568505","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/inner-sanctum-protecting-my-peace-through-poetry-9781961308145","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
