Reflections of Life Elaine Nicoll

Many of these poems acknowledge the impact of my Christian faith on my life and my thinking but they also have attempted to show it as a humble relationship rather than a religious rulebook. But life is sometimes messy and as I listened to other people's stories, I felt driven to capture their hopes, despairs, joys and frustrations in the distilled style that is poetry. I would like to think that there is a challenge in each poem to see things from other people's perspective and help us all to help each other through the journey.
