With grace and generosity, NadaÕs Release embraces us into the poetÕs healing journey. In a brilliant narrative move Nada doesnÕt name the source of her wound outright, but we see its ragged edges andÊits granulated margins. The shining negative space allows us to carry our own pain into it and to claim her spiritual path as our own.
It is in this deep dive into conversations of the soul that Nada finds affirmations aligned in her raw experiences and expressions. These collectively form a blissful balance in its full circle of knowing. Knowing that ÔI am connected, I see truth, I speak truth, I am love, I am infinite, I am a creator, I am homeÕ, as they become the beacon of Release.
As the reader freely explores her poems, and through them, finds the thread that will lead the reader out of the labyrinth of separation and turn inwards towards home, you will continue to notice the poet's deliberate use of all of God's names from the world's many religious and spiritual systems, allowing the reader to release any semantic blocks. It is through this inclusive blueprint that the author showcases her own realization to the reader that the word used in reference to God is less relevant than the intentional vibration of the person who speaks the word. In this way, Nada aspires to light up our similarities, magnify our oneness, and move beyond separation and discord, all while creating a bright space of acceptance. The poetÕs open-hearted lines radiate a warmth the reader knows is also meant for us, and in the end, you will know: ÔAll we are is YahwehÕs creation / All we are is perfect / All we are is enough / All we are is love.Õ
