I have lost track of how many friends have got these wee book collections as gifts but they've all loved them! Thank you as always!

The wee collections of lifesongs and meditations are a wonderful present for anyone, really. Luckily, I purchased one set also for myself. As the spring is currently spoiling us with glorious morning light, a wee browse with the morning cuppa sure does start your day right and a positive note! Resonating words and beautiful illustrations.

Seller's description

Specifications

May include: A stack of white paperbacks with black ink illustrations of wavy lines. The cover of the top book reads "SOUL MEDITATIONS by Steve Thorp" and "Illustrated & designed by Ruth Thorp".

Written by Steve Thorp. Illustrated and designed by Ruth Thorp

This little book of poetic meditations by writer and therapist Steve Thorp is an encouragement to sustain the kind of beautiful, joyful and resilient life that might make a difference in our troubled world.

These small soul meditations are mindful prose-poems standing as tools in the space between earth and spirit, hope and despair, individual practice and collective activism.

They are exploratory waymarks for our journeys through this landscape.

'Soul Meditations' is the companion to 'Lifesongs' which was published in 2021. More details can be found here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1111368965/lifesongs-poetry-book-by-steve-ruth

The pair can also be bought together for the special bundle price by selecting 'Life/Soul Poetry Set' from the drop-down menu.
