Here we are, sliding into the year's second half already, but not too quickly β€” we still have many days of summer. How is your July? Celebrating or contemplating the cooler days of fall? Share your thoughts, words, and poems with us in Spirit Space, and enjoy this month’s The Spiritual Read.

Poem of the Month

________________________

This month, instead of sharing a poem, I thought to share this beautiful short video sent to me by a participant in our Soul Writing for Spiritual Awakening course. Ethan Hawke talks about love, death, broken hearts, and meaning and how the depth of these experiences can only be captured in poetry.

If you’re searching for inspiration today, you’ve found it!

β€œArt is not a luxury. It’s sustenance.”

Book Love

________________________

This month’s book love comes from Abigail In New York, who is here reading Till Death Don’t Us Part at the beautiful Wave Hill Gardens β€” a perfect place for a summer read. I love when people engage with the story and tell me how much it changed their perspective on life.

 Do you have a photo of Till Death Don’t Us Part? Share it with Spirit Space! 

Soul Poems

________________________

Please enjoy these beautiful poems in the spirit of summer written by Ernie Rubinstein and Jackie Mull in my Soul Writing class series. Everyone wrote such beautiful haikus, sonnets, quatrains, and bardo poems that I thought sharing their work with you here would be wonderful.

Two Haikus by Ernest Rubinstein

The Hudson River
Flows there outside our windows
Always calm, a balm.

Sunrise on red brick!
What a sight in early hours,
The buildings aglow.

Two Haikus by Jackie Mull

Sunflowers, kites, bees
Fresh blue skies bound by nothing
Except perceptions.
Rays of sunshine part
Fresh gardens, green blades of grass
With eternal hope.
 Share your reflections on these poems with Spirit Space 

Writing Exercise: The Daily Haiku

________________________

Life can pass us by without us noticing. The simple practice of the haiku, a Japanese poem created by Master Basho, can help us change that. ⁠ Adopt a daily haiku practice for 30 days and see how is changes how you see life.

 Share your writing with Spirit Space 

Book Nook

________________________

This month's book nook photo is one of Sora Vernikoff’s favourites. I met Sora when I was invited to speak to the International Pageturners group. I’m sure I’d never leave if I ventured up those steps 🩷

This is a beautiful collection of blessings to help readers through both the everyday and the extraordinary events of their lives. John O’Donohue was an Irish teacher and poet, who has been widely praised for his gift of drawing on Celtic spiritual traditions to create words of inspiration and wisdom for today.
Swedenborg

The Swedenborg Sampler is a collection from seventeenth-century Swedish scientist and theologian Emanuel Swedenborg wrote volumes about the understanding he gained through visits to the spiritual world. What happens to our souls after we die? What is the nature of God? Of evil? It may seem theological to some, but it is a book worthy of a place on your shelf.

The Last Laugh

At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter how much someone else may believe in us, we must believe in ourselves. It can take some practice, but it is worth the effort. Thanks to the artist for the reminder. πŸ˜€β
