Summary

At just eight years old, this poet sees with the unclouded eyes of her soul. She speaks the beauty of existence without moral judgment, without yearning for meaning. In her world, the circle is whole: beginning and end, death and life, future and now are one. Her instinctive use of nature as a mirror of human existence draws us back from the noise of civilisation to the stillness of our being within nature itself. These transcendental poems awaken the reader's consciousness--effortlessly--opening a window onto a world beyond good and evil. Her poetic lines echo the mystical spirit of past poets like Rumi, yet remain entirely distinct in her own voice and vision.
