Inside the Soul of the Tornado

Inside the Soul of the Tornado culminates a trilogy of books that poetically move through grief in the mind, heart, and soul. With honesty and spiritual candor, the words on the page reveal that grief is a conversation never ending, only transforming.

In this collection, a theology of nature emerges as a path toward healing. The poems and contemplative essays remind us of the uniquely human connection of soul to landscape and place. Encountering the divine presence in and through the natural world revives and restores the soul.

The writing here reminds us of the necessity of staying awake in the face of our pain, and asks What happens when we embrace exhilaration, when we shed the skin of safety, and take on our heritage of courage?

The poetry and essays in this collection will move you toward a natural theology of the soul offering a poetic conduit toward hope, light, and spiritual belonging.
