Mindgarden

Mindgarden Volume II is a continuing
reflection of life's ultimate journeys by a poet
who is not afraid to look candidly at some of
the most troubling experiences humans
encounter throughout their lifetimes. The
second in the seven-volume Mindgarden
series, Paul A. Galloway contemplates the
human voyage through some of life's most
tragic events: the pain of the unexpected
death of a loved one, the disappointment of
broken promises, the fear of living in
incarceration, and the sting of abandonment
by those once trusted. Galloway openly
shares the darkness of these times, the evil
witnessed, the pain experienced, and the new
hope leading to recovery.

Galloway warns that "your thoughts, your
deeds [are] all accountable" and encourages us
to "catch the shadow of the past while you still
can." His poems illustrate that the injured
human spirit can recover, leading to
enlightenment, compassion, and forgiveness.
In "The Love You Give," Galloway says, "Our
body is one/As our spirit is whole/Now it's
time to move on/To God's loving arms' hold."

Mindgarden Volume II sheds light on life's
darkest corners, experiences that, once fully
felt, can result in a new world of personal,
mental, and spiritual growth.
