“Book Descriptions: I wrote the first edition of “A Fate Unwound Too Soon,” in order to share what I felt and learned as a caretaker of the tiniest of premature babies. One thread has run through the whole of my experience in the NICU--the rise of the unheralded sympathy that is native to all things. What I expect to see in the intensive care setting is the most noble form of compassion, the love of mother for child, but what I witness is much more—the acts of kindness between strangers. At the center of this giving I always find the too early born babe, the angel who brings with it the knowledge and revelation that initiates the rise of sympathy that is expressed as compassion.

In the creation process of the book, the initial configuration that this sharing took was visual, but as time passed, the work that wanted to express itself shape-shifted into a book of images, a gestalt of poesis. Poetry at first glimpse reads foreign, but it is in fact the most familiar of things embedded as it is with the essence of its own culture. In this way, Poetry is the many-skilled tool that enables the Soul to reach the Minds of many readers as the image shifts its meaning to fit each context.

Sadly, if an image is approached with a closed mind, that is to say, with expectation, it will have no power to guide, to create or to heal. If read with an open mind, the text that is heavy with meaning becomes a new experience each time it is read whether it is read by different readers or by the same reader at different times. Image is the tool that the Soul uses to bring Truth to the Mind, but it requires an open mind, one that is allowing
and receptive enough to hear the hint that will bring with it the shift in the imaginary line around which the axis of Reality rotates.

The tiny babe is the axis mundi of my world, the center around which my dream has spun itself out and I hope that I have succeeded in imbedding some of the rich texture of my experiences into this text.”
