Enlightening and powerfully positive This book is for anyone on a self care or spiritual path. It reveals the transformative power of everyday interactions. It shows how so much human suffering and struggle could be fixed with a little love and thoughtfulness. Bailey explores the effects of larger social issues on personal level with wit and humor. She so beautifully expresses heartbreak that we can all relate to. This playful and thought provoking work gives us a whole range of deep longing, grief, hope, and joy. It will leave you feeling empowered and evolved! Creative and Witty This was a great read. I found it very creative, and inspiring, yet simple and true. I found myself laughing at daily life happenings as seen by another person. Highly recommend. Beautifully simple and immediately relatable I know Bailey as a phenomenal textile artist, but reading her poetry gives me a new appreciation for her philosophies on art overall, especially since she included a myriad of hand-drawn mandalas to accompany her poems (and a few prose pieces). I painfully related most to her ""love lost"" chapter, but also thankfully to the glimmer of hope expressed within. Definitely a refreshing collection, highly recommended. Amazing Brilliant poetry. Love this book! Clean, Crisp, & Raw Easy read with beautiful artwork!
