Sarah Carlson’s poetry provides beauty for all and solace for those experiencing grief or suffering. She has a voice of understanding, which comprehends loss and has the wisdom to uncover a path of healing in any moment. Her words show deep connection to Divine nature, which she shares with us on a journey to self-realization so that we too may realize the victory of the soul.
—Daniel Gibbons, DO
In Sarah’s poems time pauses, awareness stirs, and the sparkling essence of the present moment emerges. Life through her eyes is eternally new. She experiences connection fully and leads the reader to do the same. Buy this book, immerse yourself in its pages, and be uplifted by its serene, buoyant energy.
—Jonathan M. Borkum, PhD
Through her poems and photographs Sarah invites us to step with her into a conscious connection to all that lies within us. If we say yes to her invitation we will discover our own parallel paths of growth, healing, and transformation. This is more than a book of poems and photographs, it is also a journey into and through “the thin places” in our lives: those moments when we know that there is something beyond ourselves, holding and sustaining all that is.
—The Reverend Ann Kidder
