Love Source Joy: Mystic Hymns and Sonnets Thomas Bruder

Love Source Joy: Mystic Hymns and Sonnets is a collection of poems that transcribe the author's living experience of practicing advanced forgiveness. A student of contemporary mysticism, the author passes from the mundane world of routine work through sprawling urban environments and wayward public gardens, presenting what meets the senses from the perspective of endless love. When the open, active world contracts into the closed world of the pandemic, the author goes deeper within, reflecting on the loss of loved ones, the birth of a child, and this critical moment where we may now reconsider our relations with each other, the earth, the universe of universes, and our very Source. The poems in this collection show that the mystical is not really hidden; it bursts forth with a pure light that all who wish to see may see. And what once had covered it was never really there.
