They seemed to emerge naturally, both from when I was forty-one years in the active ministry and from reflections and writings during retirement.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e You might say that poetry finally found me and has become the best way I know of putting into words some things I've begun to learn. Writing poems has opened up the world in ways I hadn't expected. It's made me aware of connections to other people and to the earth, which is truly our mother.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Letting in the Light is a book about discovering the holy in the ordinary, everyday experiences that come to all of us. Some have described my poems as accessible. I hope those who read them will find them of some help. They are offered by a fellow journeyer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50386532761873,"sku":"CIN150436225XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51125088551185,"sku":"NIN9781504362252","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52634089259281,"sku":"NLS9781504362252","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/150436225X.jpg?v=1751211717"},{"product_id":"opening-doors-book-van-parker-9781936711215","title":"Opening Doors","description":"Reading Van Parker's poetry is an experience of constantly running into unnoticed parts of ourselves and our world. With the probing everydayness of a Robert Frost and the playful mysticism of a Rumi, Van manages to sneak us into observation booths along life's way to catch sight of subtle paradoxes and to discover surprises lurking in a raspberry, a goat, or a Sabbath celebration, bringing smiles of recognition to our faces. - Wayne G.
