These poems, threaded by the teachings of Buddha, examine loss-the death of a loved one, the longing for a child, the yearning for another place and time-and the suffering such attempts transpire, but ultimately the poems are an affirmation that to be born into human life is our greatest opportunity to transform loss and sorrow into awakening joy.
