During a time of global pandemic, while First World countries rush to vaccinate their citizens, it is important to realise that none of us are safe until we are all safe. All of the author's profits raised from the sales of this book will be donated to UNICEF Ireland to help support those children whose lives are as important as those of our children and grandchildren.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMainly written under the light of the moon, \u003cem\u003eThe Dark Side of Silence\u003c\/em\u003e is a poignant, contemplative reflection of the author's journey in life to date. Raymond has abandoned any formal structure whilst developing these poems so as to celebrate his neurodiversity from dyslexia and autism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn summary it is a celebration of the individualism that exists in us all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Dark Side Of Silence is a reminder of how vulnerable each of us is; but it is also a lesson about beauty and inner growth, and how they exist within that vulnerability, once we welcome it as a core part of what we are, and then immerse ourselves in it in the hope of finding out who we truly are. If we run away from our vulnerability, then we are running away from life. We cannot be truly alive unless we are truly vulnerable at the same time. Nor can we be truly alive if we lose the connection to the child each one of us once was, and, in so many ways, will always be. That child has made each of us who we are today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Raymond Poole\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1914225724\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781914225727\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Orla Kelly Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 98\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.20d","brand":"Raymond Poole","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48437138292991,"sku":"9781914225727","price":15.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_47f69028-a437-43a9-8756-b24d31be708e.jpg?v=1777160125","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-dark-side-of-silence-raymond-poole-9781914225727","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
