Excerpt from the book:

practice

sun rising in my bones
calling me home
    quiet refuge, body of
    learning and listening.
where unmitigated focus
seduces then silences me,
evolving patterns quietly.

I can see no other way

My Thoughts: 

Softening Time is not just a collection of poems. It is also a self-help and inspirational book. As with all collections, some poems are better than others. I liked some, and some left me indifferent.

I like poetry audiobooks. Often the author narrates the poetry. This is an excellent choice because I like to listen to how the author reads it.
