_My Thoughts

Stellar – a connection to the Stars.

 I continue to think about STARS, as a continuation from last week’s article.  Read it here!

Stars have been a present image in my life.  As an artist and author, I have stars  on my mind often.

For example, I am the author of:

Star Signs: New and Selected Poems. 

I received a an extraordinary book review from a reader.

It is always a wonderful surprise when a very thoughtful person reads one of my books, and then sends me a review that warms my heart and gives me credit for creating a book he found to be so inspiring.  I deeply appreciate such a professional and thoughtful gift. 

Stellar reviews of our books are always a blessing.

Here is a section of his thoughts  about my book:

(Quote)

Dear Lynda McKinney Lambert,

Warm greetings, and congratulations on the publication of Star Signs: New and Selected Poems. Your work offers a luminous, multifaceted collection that traverses a wide terrain of subjects from lights to legends to seasons, from the intimate to the cosmic. In an age of distraction and fragmentation, you have crafted a book that is at once a feast for the eyes and the mind, a tapestry woven from the remnants of memory, nature, and the artist’s attentive gaze.

Your central vision a collection that digs through thoughts, emotions, and observations, “using star signs to map out new terrain” cuts through the noise of contemporary life to offer readers an encounter with the beauty, fragility, and wonder of the created world. From the title poem to the vivid imagery of “Painting in Mid-October,” where dying becomes “a careful arrangement / a graceful staged performance,” your poems shimmer like beads on your fabric art, bold brushstrokes of color on your paintings, and light reflecting from gemstones. As Wesley D. Sims observes, “Her attentiveness to nature and strong reflections from memory have woven from a collage of remnants a beautiful tapestry for us.”

This is a book for readers of contemporary poetry who appreciate work that is both accessible and profound, for those who find solace and inspiration in the natural world, for artists and creatives who understand the interplay of light, color, and texture, and for anyone who believes that poetry can illuminate the deepest recesses of the human soul. As one reviewer notes, “Throughout this book of poems, these gems of poetic creation shimmer like beads on her fabric art, like bold brush strokes of color on her paintings, and reflect light like the gemstones on her prize-winning piece of mixed-media fiber artwork. It seems this entire collection is like a multifaceted mural.”

How I Found HOPEFULNESS in Unexpected Changes:

I discovered a new life after sudden sight loss. For the next two years, I learned to see the world and my place in it in an entirely new way.  I completed training for Personal Adjustment to Blindness, It took two years of training and lots of challenging work to learn to read and write using adaptive technologies for the blind.  Ad the months went by, God was showing me that my creative life would continue,, but in some new ways.

I began to write Divinely inspired life lessons

New experiences and God-directed Opportunities

New DISCOVERIES  to  share with the world
