LIKE LAZARUS

Spiritual Recovery and Meditative Art

Published by MANY VOICES PRESS, ©2005

36 pages of poems and stunning abstract artwork follows a healing journey. The anonymous author tells a story of abuse transformed by reflection and meditation with few, carefully chosen words. Christian at its roots, Like Lazarus incorporates the mystic power of contemplative retreat entwined with daily experience.

My dog and I
rise each day at four
the coffee makes itself

she'll feed
then curl again
as incense

with candlelight
we chant the dark
her snores
my psalms

to dawn we pray
like monks
