Finding Beauty and Other Intangibles: A Collection of Poetry and Prose
Finding Beauty and Other Intangibles is a collection of poetry and prose that examines beauty and other intangibles, with the goal of bringing to light the fleetingness of outward appearances. Beauty is a mystery that dwells within the spirit. We should not look for it with an eyes of vanity but rather with an eye of authenticity. The soul must search deeper than just what the eye can see. Although written for my granddaughters and other young girls coming of age, I believe this collection is relevant to people of all ages.
