Join us in celebrating this amazing author as she debuts her latest collection, Spirit of Wild! Ms. Ballentine captures the essence of Wild as it weaves through us on so many levels. She will be reading excerpts from the book and copies of her work will be available for purchase and signing. Light refreshments will also be served.
"Wild weaves through each of us, but the spirit of wild doesn’t always rage. Sometimes it is the gentle, quiet moments alone in our souls that show us who and what we are. The spirit of strength, the spirit of wonder, the spirit of curiosity, the spirit of fury, the spirit of peace are all part of us. But we bottle or ignore them, questioning our anxiety and depression.”
“These poems speak to that spark in each of us that we might remember even through our sorrows, tragedies, joys, and silent seasons that the spirit of wild doesn’t call us – it is us. Don’t ignore it. Don’t let it go. Hold it tight as you dream, when you wake, and as you live your day. Yes, live. Live and embrace wild.”
