Awakened Living

Awakened Living is about how we individually and collectively overcome trauma, including abuse and racism to live healthy and loving lives. The poems describe how a sacred sense of unity and compassion can arise when we begin to heal our trauma, and how important it is to be mindful of societal pressures and contradictions as we strive to embrace integrity. Ultimately, these verses offer inspiration for the constants in every life: death, love, and change. This book is for anyone who thinks deeply about life, purpose, and meaning.
