It is an overdose\/ of meditation.\" Yet the poet has devised a formula through which she realizes that thoughtful perception is a vital principle of life. The direct way, she says, to the inner fruit is through the interior power of the soul.\u003c\/p\u003eWhether the poet is conducting her orchestra or piloting the reader through space and time (either occupation her natural instrument), Mitchell's meditative poems reveal her poetic underpinnings. These poems are alive with metaphor, wry humor, and elemental confession as if to assure that when we read her work, sparks will fly up and take hold, kindling our own emotive fire.\u003cbr\u003eSAMPLE POEM: \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSTANDARD DEVIATION\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eResting after a fall never means\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003enot getting up at all, but resting just until\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eworries begin their flight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd for that relief, all that is needed\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eis a down pillow, and high windows to deliver\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ea share of moon's ambient light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOr is this break a dumbness\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand excuse, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eanother silly respite\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ejust to put vexations right?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith no more to lose, it is time now to fracture\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003euseless worry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis resolve places me handily\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eon the brink of happiness, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ejust at the door of delight, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eneatly positioned at the edge of comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.26 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 11, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47476380532914,"sku":"9781962847131","price":22.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/16411c37e786c4a63c25837924537b9d.webp?v=1779180785","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/an-overdose-of-meditation-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
