Some of My Seasons - Paperback

by Margaret Netherby (Author)

The whole moon hangs Above the westward highway And suddenly I see The swoop of yin and yang Aglow ... From the end of one century to the beginning of another, Margaret Netherby has lived a life full of adventure, joy, heartache, and disappointment. In this collection of poetry, Netherby shares a lyrical glimpse into her life's journey spanning over forty years as she attempted to make sense of confusion, reconcile emotions, appreciate wonder and beauty, embrace happy moments, and accept downturns with grace. Largely self-taught, Netherby offers free verse and haiku poems-some based on her studies of Nichiren Buddhism-that shine a light on a variety of emotions including love, grief, desire, and happiness as well as the endless beauty of nature, unconditional love of family, and comfort associated with Mystic Law. Some of My Seasons is a collection of poems that reflects one women's journey through life as she learns, loves, and comes to understand her special purpose.
