The Sky Between My Hands by A Poet Who Never Stopped Dreaming

This collection of books by this Poet really do get me thinking and appreciating beauty in the everyday things we encounter and take for granted. A really touching one to me was, Compliments, often it's about dress or look which can change, never the person themselves usually or their character which we should certainly focus on more than superficial face value. The small selection of poems as an interlude were each beautiful but especially the last, 'If the heart is a door, I want the kind with windows— so even closed, it still lets in light.' I hope it is ok to include the quote in the review, but I think many of us should live more accepting like this and even if you don't choose to read the book feel inspired to be open and see deeper in everyday life for beauty. The Weather Of Each Other, was a touching look at finding and becoming accepting of each others wants, needs and moods, working and learning together. Plans, being alikened to scaffolding too for they can fail or be built on, strengthened or fail, weaken and fall apart. The Pain Of Grief, taking your body through the wild and seasons of tearfulness or like you'd dried up emotionally, unable to grow and how music can heal with understanding calming melodies or truthful lyrics hitting deep. The book is a beautiful series of observations from life and truly feels like everyday can be magical in what we can notice beyond surface level.
