Mindgarden: Volume II

By Paul Galloway

Mindgarden Volume II is a continuing reflection of life's ultimate journeys by a poet who is not afraid to look candidly at some of the most troubling experiences humans encounter throughout their lifetimes. The second in the seven-volume Mindgarden series, Paul A. Galloway contemplates the human voyage through some of life's most tragic events: the pain of the unexpected death of a loved one, the disappointment of broken promises, the fear of living in incarceration, and the sting of abandonment by those once trusted. Galloway openly shares the darkness of these times, the evil witnessed, the pain experienced, and the new hope leading to recovery.

Galloway warns that "your thoughts, your deeds [are] all accountable" and encourages us to "catch the shadow of the past while you still can." His poems illustrate that the injured human spirit can recover, leading to enlightenment, compassion, and forgiveness. In "The Love You Give," Galloway says, "Our body is one/As our spirit is whole/Now it's time to move on/To God's loving arms' hold."

Mindgarden Volume II sheds light on life's darkest corners, experiences that, once fully felt, can result in a new world of personal, mental, and spiritual growth.
