Dr. Edwards is a highly regarded scholar, mystic, and meditation teacher. His critically acclaimed poetry is in the tradition of Kabir, Hafiz and Rumi - pointing to the living presence of the One, the Divine, pervading all times and all places. The poems inspire, instruct, and urge one to discover what mystics of every tradition have found within their hearts - the Infinite One of many faces - by whose grace all of life can experienced as the unfolding of the Divine. Lawrence writes, \"there's never a time, never a place, that you're not in the Divine embrace.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLawrence Edwards has a unique and love drenched connection to the divine Mother as Kali.
