Tales of Life From Within Leah Russell

Tales of Life From Within is a variety of poetry that came to me during my long journey of awakening thus far. I don't know about you, but I have found myself in a battle with my own heart, mind, and spirit as I tackle the undefeated journey of learning who I am. Learning who one is can be a dangerous place; we all teeter on the edge of curiosity that pushes our boundaries, which can go one of either way: you fly or you fall. And sometimes on this journey, we get lost in the black abyss of life's challenges and thresh holds we begin to believe we can not over come, can not reach what we know is our full potential... what our soul screams for. So instead, we get comfortable. So comfortable we begin to forget who we were, who we wanted to be, who we are. We begin to get lost in the comfort, forgetting what we desire and what is deserved. Forgetting that although we are lost, we can still be found. Forgetting that life moves on, and every day changes like the seasons. There is always a new opportunity, a new day, a new moment. This book is written from the depths within my soul that has shaken me, broken me, pained me, and taken me on a whole new adventure of realizing and learning who and what I am, and desire to be. These words within this book are varieties of poetry written from my body, mind, and soul; gifted to me by the Universe. Some written from love, some from hate, some from pain, and of course rejoicing. Sometimes it's nice to feel lost, but other times it's great to be found.
