Take this book as an invitation to pause and listen to your own being. Walk it as a bridge from silence to sound, from your heartbeat to the full expanse of your inner world. The Season of Now is my contemplative journey through the everyday - an ongoing dance of routines, conversations, and glimpses of natural beauty.

The poems are layered, offering more than just words or a single meaning. They form a bouquet of feelings that delve into vulnerable depths, exploring currents of light, silence, longing, frustration, and hope. They meditate on the sound of silence, sometimes erupting like a volcano of the heart.

I hope that, in holding this book, you will be able to face yourself and find moments of peace and reflection.
