Each poem is accompanied by a spectacular photograph of a rose or a collection of roses, adding a visual dimension to the presentation of the poet’s journey through the many stages of love and all that is beautiful. This is a book to enjoy over time, savor with compassion, and reflect on all that we find relevant to our lives. It is an absolutely deeply beautiful, sublime book. Click to purchase.

One Mind: How Our Individual Mind is Part of a Greater Consciousness and Why it Matters by Larry Dossey, M.D.
Imagine a united consciousness, an awareness of which all of our minds are a part . . . and a potential way out of the division, greed, and destruction that threaten to engulf our world. In the 20th century, we were introduced to several subdivisions of the mind: the conscious, unconscious, subconscious, preconscious, and so on. But what we didn’t know was that there was another level of consciousness, an all-encompassing, infinite dimension of shared intelligence: the One Mind. This universal consciousness connects all of us through space and time. Even now, as you read these words, you are participating in the One Mind. Click here to purchase.
