Songs of a Soul Journey

A Diary In Verse: Songs of a Soul Journey Contemplates Love, Life, Living and Being

Life is a journey; that goes without saying. But the nature or the meaning of the journey is often elusive. Is life a journey where the landscape is ever-changing? Or is it more like an archeological dig, where a single landscape is discovered over time to have diverse layers of meaning and being? Author Elisabeth T. Eliassen has brought forth a collection of verses from her poetic diary that explores these questions.

"I cannot say when it was that I realized the contents of my diaries constituted something other than what I might, at one time, have described as an odd collection of musings in erratic and undisciplined verse," says Ms. Eliassen in the Foreword, "Each entry is my record of an experience; a moment of beauty, of epiphany, of personal process unfolding within me. As the title implies, this collection is a mostly chronological account of a soul's journey,a map, if you will, of the travels of my heart, mind and spirit."
