Reflections

About the Book

The book is about emotions and feelings shared between people literally strangers, unknown to one another before this one opportune meeting. The poems were a result of words used during their different conversations describing their life events, which prompted the author to bring them alive through poems. This is a reflection of many lives, individual stories, and one’s memories cherished each day.

As an Occupational therapist in private practice, Saraswathy, continues to utilize her knowledge and professional skills in providing training and education not only for the patients but their carers met. Health and wellness began to mould itself in a different way in practice. Further, as an adult literacy trainer, she saw these processes changing people’s lives. Through work done with a group of clients to improve their basic cognition, she prodded each one to delve themselves into formation of new words or search for lyrics. They were having fun! The next step had involved the use of art and poetry writing as complementary tools. These interactions began to expose her to new explorative learning facets. The recent work had involved a small group of homeless individuals desiring to read. Their basic requirements for survival often challenging them in many ways, was unable to crush the enthusiasm and love each one had nurtured within themselves. Thus, this priceless little gift was born as a form of learning!
