About the Book
Book of Life: Poems for the Journey is a book of poetry that tells a story—a human story and a divine story. Many themes are visited, including writing, creativity, nature, relationships, loving ourselves, purpose, surrender, soul, change, grief, awakening, empowerment, and more.
The poems showed up as the poet stepped into a life that allowed room for them. Difficult decisions were made so as to keep the pen from running dry. Grief and growing pains made way for risk, newness, adventure, and spontaneity, and these things subsequently made for something to write about.
The writings are fueled by the poet’s fire and are intended to light the divine spark within the reader. Often, the poems show up as a pondering and then come full circle to a resolution of sorts, one that can potentially serve us all as we journey, always, Home.
About the Author
AMY SUE ADAMS is a poet, lyricist, writer, mother, teacher, and facilitator. She enjoys traveling, dancing, hiking, swimming, bicycling, and amateur photography.
In 2008, a Dark Night of the Soul experience brought Amy back to herself, back to her writing, and back to her purpose. Humaira, a wise spirit guide of sorts, showed up just about that time to infuse both Amy’s writing and her life. Humaira’s words have bookended both of Amy’s books to date, and She continues to make Her presence known to this day. It’s a little unorthodox, to say the least, but it is what has occurred, and honoring what has occurred has become life-saving, life-enhancing, and life-giving for Amy.
While all has not been peaches and cream, even in Georgia where Amy was guided for a bit, all has been Alive, and that Aliveness is what Amy has learned to follow. This book; Amy’s first book, Book of Love: Poems to Light Your Way Home; all of her other writings; and her life lived have become the fruits of her labor. Through various means, Amy supports others as they follow their own—at times elusive—pull toward answering the call of Soul. Amy’s website is travelinglightpoetry.com.
