In Gently Falls Her Rain Of Light a new collection of inspired poetry and prose, Lawrence Edwards, PhD continues to share the gifts from the Great Goddess that he receives in meditative states. Dr. Edwards is a highly regarded scholar, mystic, and meditation teacher. His critically acclaimed poetry is in the tradition of Kabir, Hafiz and Rumi - pointing to the living presence of the One, the Divine, pervading all times and all places. The poems inspire, instruct, and urge one to discover what mystics of every tradition have found within their hearts - the Infinite One of many faces - by whose grace all of life can experienced as the unfolding of the Divine. Lawrence writes, "there's never a time, never a place, that you're not in the Divine embrace."
Lawrence Edwards has a unique and love drenched connection to the divine Mother as Kali. From this connection has flowed a stream of living holy water. A long unfurling tender revelation in poems of profound devotion and awe. His new book, while absolutely aware of Kali's savagery, celebrates the mystery behind that savagery. A mystery of burning tender transfiguring love. What deeper inspiration could we ask for in a time so threatened by nihilism and despair. -Andrew Harvey, author of The Return of the Mother; The Hope; and Radical Regeneration with Carolyn Baker. www.andrewharvey.com
This powerful collection of poems invites us to risk leaping off the edge of rational, binary knowing into the sacred Unknowing that lies around and within us. Turning from poem to poem becomes a dance conducted by the Lord and Mistress of eternal Love. Gently Falls Her Rain of Light resonates with the wisdom found in such mystics of East and West as Jesus, Buddha, Marguerite Porete, Julian of Norwich, Meister Eckhart, Thomas Merton, Ibn ʿArabī, Paramahansa Yogananda, and Ramakrishna. -Dr. Robert A. Jonas, Founder & Director of The Empty Bell, retreat leader, musician, environmental activist, and author: My Dear Far-Nearness: The Holy Trinity as Spiritual Practice. www.emptybell.org
Back in the 1970s Ram Das summed up the teachings on how to achieve enlightenment with the words "Be here now." The idea being that if you could, even for one instant, be absolutely, unconditionally in the present moment - in the NOW - you would dissolve into the luminescent light of pure consciousness. Lawrence Edwards' beautiful and moving poetry in Gently Falls Her Rain of Light takes you into that moment and guides you on the journey to finding yourself - finding your true Self - in the radiant light and Oneness of All. -Teri Degler, author of The Divine Feminine Fire and Gopi Krishna. www.teridegler.com
Poetry often conveys truth better than any other form. In this book you will encounter beautiful words that shine with truth. The truth of love, the truth of surrender, and the truth of unity. Reading these poems with an open heart and mind you find yourself invited into an inner revolution that leads back to your original home. I would encourage anyone to savor these profound expressions of truth. -Jeff Carreira, meditation and spirituality teacher, and author of Transdimensional Spirituality. www.jeffcarreira.com
Kalidas (Lawrence Edwards) guides the reader beyond tendencies to dwell in memory, confusion, and reactivity into the light of Divine Presence. This collection of treasures is filled with gems of insight, gold of wisdom, and beauty that reflects the faces of the Divine. Each poem is an invitation to embrace and dance with the Sacred. -Martin Lowenthal, PhD, author of Avatars of Wisdom, Love and Service. https://dli.org/books
