If you enjoyed my documentary Finding What’s Real (all videos out now! you can watch here), I think you’d enjoy this book of poetry by Dean Jackson called The Poetry of Oneness: Illuminating Awareness of the True Self.
I found out about this writer because I was watching Kim Kardashian’s Instagram Stories, haha! She gets a lot promotional gifts from her other celebrity friends who are coming out with new products and such. Anyhow, her friend Adrienne Bailon sent her a gift of new jewelry pieces from Adrienne’s new collection and included a note with this quote.
She dances to the songs in her head. Speaks with the rhythm of her heart and loves from the depths of her soul.
Excerpt from Dean Jackson poem
It’s such a moving quote! I started looking it up and reading more quotes from Dean Jackson on Google Images, and then I stumbled on some poetry books that he had written. Hence how I ended up buying The Poetry of Oneness!
When I first opened the book, let’s just say, it was not the most beautiful in terms of graphic design. But then I read in the forward that he intentionally designed the book with a lot of white space so that readers could write down their own thoughts and inspirations as they read the poems.
So yeah! Once I got past that part, I really enjoyed the poems! Don’t let the appearance of the book fool you about what kind of gems are inside the book.
I can’t express how deep some of the poems are. Sometimes I felt like “OMG! The poem’s talking about me!” Or you feel like the poem describes a relationship you have with someone. I found the perfect one to describe my relationship with my fiance and it literally made me cry. The jist is that these poems are about life, love, truth, and what really matters.
It’s great to read right before you go to bed – in solitude. It’s quite calming. Much better experience than looking at your phone right before sleeping.
I was thinking it’d be a nice gift idea for someone who may appreciate a good poetry book or some nice words of wisdom. Hmm *wheels turning in my head.*
Anyhow, my favorite poems in the book are “Butterfly,” “Self-Acceptance” and “Only You Know.” If you get it too, let me know which ones you like!
