Publisher's Synopsis
The poems in this collection are magical songs, written from the heart, leading the reader on a journey of self-discovery, awe and faith. These poems are a gift of healing and "a cry of deliverance and transformation." She tenderly writes in her poem titled "Self Appointed Guardian": Everlasting glory in moments of awareness, We enter to unravel the Unknown. Dressed in each rose, tulip, thorn and beyond, We enter to witness the essence of Love, Wrapped in our fear, courage, fortitude, And in our humanness. Paula D'Arcy, author of Waking Up To This Day and Gift of the Red Bird writes: This moving collection of poetry and prose is a testament to both vulnerability and strength. "When I learned it was fine to be vulnerable," writes Felora Ziari, "I gained my true strength back ... I had overcome the fear of being seen." Felora fights for the empowerment of women and shows us all the way by finding "the nightingale in her own heart." She has written tenderly and with deep honesty about the unbearable moments as well as those that take us to the mystery of being here. Bravo. "The ache and joy of Spiritual wisdom cries and sings from Felora's true essence in Whispers from Above. Her poetry is lovingly and longingly a gift of Grace. Listen to her voice as she guides you to your own inner Truths." Joyce Beck, Psychotherapist and Co-founder of the Crossings "More than a book of poetry, more than a memoir, Whispers from Above is an exploration of the exigencies of women everywhere. From a mystical perspective it explores the restrictions that society places on women, the masks that they adopt to respond to those restrictions, and the spiritual growth that each woman must find in her own heart so that she can rise above the masks. Whispers from Above will change the way you look at life." Ron Frazer, author of The Jacinta Joseph Caribbean Adventures, Time Branches "Whispers from Above is a waterfall of wisdom as the author ever so gently leads us to align with our own Source of truth. This is a first book and reads as though the author is sitting across the room from you. Through eloquent language, laced with simplicity, it unveils the author's grateful journey from trials to transformation. Her beautiful transparency and exposed vulnerability draw the reader more deeply inside with each turning page. Rooted in a deep belief in a listening Presence outside of ourselves, her book invites the reader to explore a deeper level of introspection. I couldn't put it down. It's a beautiful, fluid read." Ginger Blair, author of Knowing
