Stones in the Stream

Stones in the Stream, the life-work of Tricia Heriz-Smith, is a beautiful collection of poems from a lifetime of practicing deep living and the writing life. Tricia gifts us with a book filled with astute observations, explorations and invitations to look deeply into this world of ours. (from the Foreword by Diana Button). There is an art to standing on one leg just as there is to balancing one rock on another. Outer balance can only happen with inner balance, and that search has been mine for as long as I can remember. These are poems of discovery, just as when you walk on a pebbly beach you find one stone calling to you to be picked up and taken home. So, these poems have been picked from moments in the stream of my life that have caught my full attention and demanded to be written. seeking that centre where all is in balance withstand waves My poems are the distillation of my own time and space, rather like messages in a bottle tossed into the stream of life. (from the Preface).
