With a Full Heart

Simple in their imagery yet raw and thought-provoking, these heart-centered verses were both a vehicle for Walker Stradley's healing and a testament to his love for his wife, two- and four-legged family members, friends, and life itself. The alchemic power of nature also plays a central role, grounding him and helping him make the most of each precious day as he continues his never-ending search for all things good. Other verses are a testament to our great nation and his wish that people will set aside the division of recent years and reunite around our commitment to freedom and inclusivity. Though each has its own inspirational message, read together these poems are a map of Walker's spiritual journey of a life well-lived, from the depths of painful addiction to the heights of his awareness and joy as a child of God.

With A Full Heart: Verses to Ignite Your Faith and Feed Your Soul is his way of inspiring others and, hopefully, guiding them to find that wellspring of joy within themselves.
