Threading the Path: Words of Compassion Stitched

Threading the Path is a group of poems, bracketed and interspersed with simple quilt motifs that came to mind during meditation. Quilting, the process of gathering random scraps of fabric, joining them into a harmonious whole, then melding layers together with a superimposed design, is an analogy for healing--the reclamation of broken aspects of ourselves into a reclaimed whole, with each stitch representing a prayer. It is a tour through those universal experiences where we carry the burden of life's wounds:



Disillusionment, when our world is not as you hoped it would be

Disappointment, when something we counted on does not work out as you expected

Depression, when loss seems too much to bear

Anxiety, when fearful thoughts overwhelm you

Despair, when powerlessness leads you to believe that there is no hope



It is poetry that embraces the realities of life's troubles while igniting faith in all the possibilities life has to offer...and suggests the rethinking of assumptions in order to create a happier future. The words acknowledge the universal experiences of life, expresses compassion, connect with the reader's tender heart, and point toward healing and serenity.



From a career as a psychotherapist, energy healer, and intuitive, Peggy Galantowicz has written poetry by surrendering to the soft gentle whisper from deepest intuition...



From the hearts of those who watch and wait to be heard...

Poetry flowing to wipe the tears.
