Reflections from a life built on faith, the writings express thoughts about death, depression, joy and personal experience. Poetry and journal entries let the author speak to her own inner heart, meditate on complex issues, use healing words to shake off the poison brine of salty tears and dream new hope. “I’m like a white pearl, glowing bright with ocean’s life in me. Good thoughts wave on like dancing grass.”
