About the book
If you want to have a moving mystical experience, pray these poems. If you want to have just plain fun, browse through these remarkable poems on a bright sunny day, and then meditate on them on a melancholy rainy day. You will never tire of reading this book.
Joseph F. Girzone, author of Joshua
Reading Barbara Benjamin's poetry is like reading Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass or the mathematical source code of the Absolute Infinity. Only silence can describe its magnificence.
Orest Bedrij, author of Celebrate Your Divinity
In Face to Face Barbara Benjamin sings an involvement with life and inner spirit that is breathtaking. Deceptively clear and straightforward, she touches the deepest in us and around us in every poem.
James M. McMahon, PhD, author of Radical Self-Acceptance:
The spiritual birth of the human person
Read an excerpt
REBIRTH Pussy willows round the pond; Nature's waved her sacred wand; Rituals of spring return; Fiddleheads foretell new fern. Robins busy mending nests; Day and night, no creature rests; Life itself must be renewed, Males beguiled and females wooed. Listen closely, hear the song; Problems do not make life wrong; Take the hope each season brings; Fill your soul until it sings. Hear the peepers, hear the frogs, Serenading in the bogs; Hear the crisp, undaunted brook Rushing into every nook. You can almost hear the earth Giving way to life's rebirth; If you really listen well, You can hear your own heart swell.
