Product Description
by Maryam Hand (Author)
Piercing the Veil is a collection of autobiographical mystical poetry that captures the essence of contemporary Sufism experienced from the feminine perspective. At a time of disheartening religious tensions and a growing discourse of ethnic misrepresentations in the United States, this collection crosses borders and religious traditions and speaks to the universal heart and soul. The poems appeal to both mature spiritual travelers and readers new to the spiritual path who seek deeper spiritual contact, inner peace, and personal consciousness. The reading process takes the literary traveler on a rich and heartfelt journey; the poetry spans a wide range of human experiences by opening a window to subtle ecstatic mysticism in one poem, then delving into one of life's inevitable challenges with wisdom, patience and spiritual understanding, in another. This experience creates an opportunity to cultivate more understanding and tolerance of both self and others. It offers a penetrating glance into the world of Unity and is an invitation to remember that we are all brothers and sisters of one human family. Piercing the Veil bids us to dive within the heart, the self and the soul to perhaps emerge as the new mystical being that our world is in dire need of.
