Resurrection and Return: Poems for New Beginnings (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798280290648)

Resurrection and Return: Poems for New Beginnings
by Jon Thurlow

In a world that often rushes past beauty, Resurrection and Return is an invitation to pause, notice, and begin again.

Rooted in the seasons, in sacred places, and in the quiet resilience of the soul, this contemplative collection explores what it means to rise-again and again. Jon Thurlow's poems trace the tender contours of resurrection in everyday life: birdsong after grief, dawn light after darkness, and the fragile joy of returning home.

Structured as a four-part journey-Awakening, Pilgrimage, Thresholds, and Homecoming-this book offers more than poetry. Each section is paired with reflection prompts to help you explore your own experiences of loss, longing, and renewal. In the closing pages, the Field Notes offer glimpses into the stories and places behind the poems-snapshots of memory, nature, and grace.

Whether you are walking through change, recovering after grief, or simply longing to reconnect with the sacredness of everyday life, these poems will meet you on the path and accompany you as you find your way back.

For readers of spiritual poetry, nature writing, and reflective memoir.
