God Whispers on the Wind

God Whispers on the Wind: Spiritual Poems of Light, Laughter and Love is a heart-stoking collection of 81 spiritual poems that invokes the connections that we all share: to the Universe, to what we call God, and especially to one another."When we reach out and touch the common threads that are quietly spun between different, even seemingly contradictory human spiritualities," writer and author Dave Ursillo writes, "We begin to attain a far more enriched and empowered understanding of humanity, itself-and, even a deeper understanding of ourselves, personally."God Whispers on the Wind gently encourages a greater awareness for those common threads: the perpetual and binding human qualities of love, happiness, purposeful living and shared experience that make us so exceptionally unique as spiritual beings.The poems in God Whispers on the Wind are light-hearted, fun, occasionally funny and certainly heart-stoking. You'll find poems that celebrate an open and playful nature ("Three Happy Bloodhounds", "From the Hand"), take pleasure in lightly cursing ("This Damp Pile"), and even politely venting at the order of things ("Dear Sir", "What a Tragedy"). Naturally, that poetry is self-expressive entails that many embody a personal narrative ("Submission", "My Liar's Mind"), touch upon some love stories of old ("A Bird Swoops"), and other private thoughts ("Bridges"). "My hope is that you see these less as personal narration," says Ursillo, "And more as a story-vehicle through which you might see a new depth of yourself, your life, your dreams."The poems in God Whispers on the Wind are liberally-styled as open and interpretive free-form verses, emulative of popular modern interpretations of the works of great poets of old such as Hafiz, Rabia of Basra, Rumi and Kabir. Readers familiar with the famed poetic interpretations from best-selling author and translator Daniel Ladinsky will find his style to have inspired the style of some poems in God Whispers on the Wind. "Whatever you believe," Ursillo concludes, "I hope that God Whispers on the Wind serves as a gentle reminder that we are forever connected to a couple of important things: to the ether, and to one another."
