Limitless: New Poems and Other Writings [Paperback]

Danna Faulds (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 14, 2009

Limitless is Danna Faulds' fifth book of poetry. A long-term practitioner of Kripalu Yoga, for the past seven years her writing has inspired and delighted a broad audience interested in the opportunities life provides for healing, growth, and transformation. Danna writes: Some days, the first line of a poem interrupts me and insists on being written down - NOW! Other days, I write the words 'This is what I have to say to you' at the top of the page and see what comes. Like a faucet dispensing water from a hidden reservoir below the earth, this kind of writing allows the formless mystery to flow into my conscious life. What I tap into when I write from the quiet of my meditation cushion feels limitless. Each morning finds me at the edge of my current experience, writing about where I am stuck, where I am learning to let go, and what is calling me forward right now. Words on the page, both poetry and prose, are the bread crumbs left behind as I move beyond my comfort zone and into the unknown. Danna is the author of four previous books of poetry: Go In and In; One Soul; Prayers to the Infinite; and From Root to Bloom. She is currently finishing a memoir about her experiences with yoga and writing titled Into the Heart of Yoga.

As an author of several self-published volumes of yoga poetry in the Anusara Yoga tradition, I have immensely enjoyed and imbibed all of Danna Faulds books. This one is truly exquisite! I often write poems to accompany the themes I use in my classes, but when I don't, I find that Danna always provides what I need. Each poem is a luscious morsel to be enjoyed again, and again!

This book of poetry is perfect for reading throughout my yoga classes. I'm a yoga instructor and just love the way the poems easily relate to meditation, practice and overall growth. Beautifully written and inspiring.
