"Judyth Clarkson has been in the nursing profession most of her professional life.

After moving to Illinois in 1999, to be closer to her family, she started a new career in retail customer service where she stayed for twelve years. In 2006 she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Having been through the experience with her husband and now her own, Judy took to writing as a way to deal with all the thoughts and feelings. It was sometimes hard to understand just what was going on and she found it helpful to put her thoughts down on paper and share them with others. It started with journaling and then moved to writing poetry. This book is a compilation of the last six and a half years. She continues to write poetry now for the shear joy of it"

Finding Deep Joy

Author: Robert Ellwood
Publisher: Quest Books
ISBN: 9780835608008
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 158

Book Description
To those who see aright, this vast and mysterious universe is packed with deep joy. Its stars throb with joy, its radiations hum with it, its dark or glowing nebula embed it. The dances of the atoms and galaxies are dances of joy. Here below, joy lies hidden deep down at the hearts of all things---of boulders, trees, sharks and ourselves. So says eminent Theosophist Robert Ellwood, who sees the joy pervading the universe as accessible to everyone, not just mystics and saints. Joy can enhance the happiest of circumstances and ease the most adverse. It is our birthright and true nature. Humph! Not mine, you say? Ellwood frankly acknowledges our shifting moods, life's tedium, and the reality of pain and despair. But he invokes Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, and Sufi wisdom to affirm joy despite all conditions---for richer of poorer, in sickness and in health. Then he leads us to find deep joy for ourselves, one precious moment at a time. At once simple and profound, this warm, gentle book is one you will cherish for yourself and as a gift for old friends, young people seeking vision, and any loved one in need.

Lightburn’s realistic pictures in soft-tone colored pencil have the same beautiful sense of fragility, steadfastness, and connection.”—Booklist (starred review)
