Strand removed the tape, and She began to speak of a coming age of chaos and collapse in which the world of humankind would be severely chastened so that Her world--the world of Nature--could be renewed. Overwhelmed by the presence of One so fully Other, Strand found that love was the only language that would suffice. Drawing inspiration from Song of Songs and the Bengali mystics Ramprasad and Sri Ramakrishna, he began a series of poems to Ma Kali, the Dark Goddess of India, the words to which often came from the Great Mother Herself.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eClark Strand \u003c\/b\u003eis the former senior editor at \u003ci\u003eTricycle: The Buddhist Review. \u003c\/i\u003eHe is the current editor of the Haiku Challenge, which is a monthly Haiku context sponsored by \u003ci\u003eTricycle.\u003c\/i\u003e He is the author of many books on spirituality and religion, including \u003ci\u003eSeeds from a Birch Tree\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMeditation Without Gurus\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHow to Believe in God\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWaking the Buddha\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eWaking Up to the Dark\u003c\/i\u003e.
