On Earth and In Heaven

By Gretchen Lara-Shartle and Gretchen Shartle

On Earth and In Heaven is a diverse compilation of poems by poet and author Gretchen Lara-Shartle. Each poem is beautifully illustrated by Gretchen's beloved friend and internationally renowned Mexican artist Irma Griz?.

From the spiritual to the earthly, On Earth and In Heaven captures life's special moments in verse. Whether "Beckoning the HOLY SPIRIT"; performing daily tasks like "swinging lettuce dry"; praying to reach down into earthen serenity like the roots of the "Tree by the Waters"; being with the half-moon holding glowing beauty in her cupped hands on Christmas Eve at midnight; or celebrating the beauty of the heavens and the Milky Way while dancing back from Compline at the Monastery of Christ in the Desert-for Gretchen, life is "a serendipity when images without and feelings within begin to know each other."
