Into Light

Poems and Incantations

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This collection includes 36 poems and 12 "incantations" that focus on the intertwined spiritual concepts of Light and Love. The poems, initially written within the Catholic mystical tradition of contemplation and adoration of the Divine presence, gradually evolved to encompass a broader scope of spiritual insights, without losing the main focus: reaching out in Love to the One Light, the Source of All. The simple and repetitive meditations and incantations are meant to inspire, uplift, and fill the heart with Light and Love. Maja Trochimczyk, Ph.D., is a Polish American poet, music historian, photographer, and author of six books on music, most recently "Frédéric Chopin: A Research and Information Guide" (rev. ed., 2015). Trochimczyk's six books of poetry include "Rose Always," "Miriam's Iris," "Slicing the Bread," "The Rainy Bread," and two anthologies, "Chopin with Cherries" and "Meditations on Divine Names."
