The poems in this book have been written within the months of November 2013 to February 2014 when I left my native country Denmark for a sabbatical in Australia. Although this was a significant change in geography for me, a much more profound shift was happening in my inner life and geography. The poems were written during a period of my life, where a process of transformation caused intense grief and suffering on a scale I have never experienced before. It was like my Soul urged - or almost demanded me to let go of the old, and to surrender to the new, whatever that was going to be. Symbolically a question of life or death. At the age of 55 my dear wife, Hennie, bless her forever, died of cancer after 8½ years of bravely battling this mighty opponent. In the end she had the courage to surrender to the fact, that she was going to die. She passed away, while I was lying besides her holding her hand. That was a tremendous loss, and my grieving at first seemed bottomless, but somehow the Grace of God saved me from falling into the deepest abyss of existential crisis until later, when spirit in its infinite wisdom knew I was somewhat more ready and resilient. My reason for writing this book is to help others in the same situation. If I can relieve just a little of their grief and suffering, their hardships and heartache, their desperation and sadness, I am more than satisfied. In fact I don t want anyone to go through the agony of the heart I did, though it seems to be an important and maybe unavoidable part of the spiritual journey of a human being.
