"Life is love. Love is life. It is the language of our heart, the essence of our true nature. It is what we all long to experience and desperately fear losing. However, loss is also life, the very fabric of life..."
In this poetic exploration of the interwoven connection between love and loss, it is the wisdom of letting go that emerges as the true strength of the 'fabric of life.' This is not a letting go of grief, but rather it is a letting go of one's expectation that life be other than 'what it is.'
Through engaging with the poems in Footprints of a Waterlily, readers have the opportunity to look at the losses they personally have experienced and to open their hearts, not only to others who are suffering, but also to the wonder and beauty in their own lives.
