I was seeking clarity of thought in preparation for visits with a therapist. Some poems are memories. Some are issues I struggle with in my life. Some are lessons I need to learn. Some are moments I want to hold dear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNonreaders can read and understand the poems because they are simple and very clear. Even rereading is pleasurable, in the same way it's enjoyable to play a piano piece learned many years ago. The issues are timeless for people of all ages. Hopefully, a reader will be reminded of a similar experience in his or her life. These are topics of the human condition as seen from a lifetime of experiences of joy, sadness, lessons to be learned, and lessons to share. It incorporates mindfulness and meditation and encourages peace of mind, personal growth, and honesty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book represents courage to look at reality without pressure for perfection and with hope for being your best and brightest each day.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"iUniverse","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45132890931351,"sku":"9781532024016","price":970.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781532024016.webp?v=1767102925","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/sarahs-haiku-poems-about-living-with-hope-and-courage-9781532024016","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
