Pause to Reflect (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781393164920)

Many people go through life without ever seriously reflecting on the events which have shaped their experiences. Without recognising each special occasion as a moment to be treasured and learnt from. Without seeing the simple, pure thread of wisdom hidden underneath what may seem to us a tangled problem, or an unexpected turn of events. But these are life's gifts to us, for they will all certainly take place within our histories and over the years will turn into precious memories from which, the wisdom of the commonplace grows and can be seen.

You may have heard it said that there is more to writing a poem than just making a story that rhymes. And there is more to being a poet than just being able to accomplish that rhyme. The true poet is blessed with a wider vision, their words convey something more than they might immediately suggest. Celia Law is one of these people.

Through these poems she is an expression of her times. She shares with us the lessons and insights of her story. The honest wisdom gained through her revelation of inspiration and the pain and joy of experience. Her poems stir the emotions like wooden spoons. They arouse a humour that all can share. They tell us of the higher ideals of life which are ever-present behind the veil of what we know as every day. It is true that wisdom is gained through reflection and through this act the things that you may soon forget are made special

Through the compassion and spirituality contained within these 80 or so poems, we are being reminded to respect people, time and places for their own merit.

So read this work and see what you may find and feel the emotions that they stir, and be assured that you will find and feel something!
