About the Book

The spiritual/nature poems in this book are the mingling of inspiration from the natural beauty of the grounds of the Ananda Ashramas and the universal spiritual philosophy of Vedanta upon which the ashramas are founded. The selection of poems here is a compilation drawn from previously published books: The Mystical Dance, Whispers of Light and Something the River Says. Being truly present with nature arouses within us our own true nature. Our wholeness and oneness with all that is begins to bubble up inside like a freshwater spring when we are just present with nature. A crystalline moon in a star-strewn sky, an evening sky of robin's egg blue and mother of pearl clouds suspended over the mountains, misty clouds drifting across the mountain peaks, softly, like the breath of God. Any of these alone is enough to open a wellspring of inspiration. But the natural settings in which these poems were written have been permeated with over a hundred years of a transcendent spiritual atmosphere. The presence of peace and a joy-filled grace are palpable. If these poems awaken in the reader some small measure the mystic essence, healing, Light and sheer joy that abide here, they will have served well their intended purpose.
About the Author: Gordon Burnham is the author of six books to date-four books of nature and spiritual poetry, The Mystical Dance, Whispers of Light, Something The River Says, and Spirit of the Mountain, a book on meditation, Meditation Tips 'n Techniques and this book, Inspirations and Meditations. He is also a singer-songwriter and instrumentalist on nine CDs of universal spiritual songs, Sanskrit kirtans and chants, new age instrumentals and acoustic guitar instrumentals. His music and books are available and can be sampled at www.gburnham.com and iTunes. Burnham taught Music Therapy ("Healing and Spiritual Awakening Through Music") at Northeastern University and has traveled throughout the U.S. giving workshops and spiritual/new age musical performances. He has studied and practiced meditation and Vedanta philosophy since meeting his teacher and guru, Srimata Gayatri Devi in 1974. Gordon is the director of major musical events at Ananda Ashrama, La Crescenta, CA and Vedanta Centre, Cohasset, MA. He plays a central role in weekly music performances and is also a regular speaker at Ananda Ashrama. Born in Traverse City, Michigan, he later moved with his family to Grand Rapids where he grew up in a rural setting of rivers, lakes, hills and woods. His natural love of nature, art and music was to be his guide through the years to come. Gordon Burnham currently lives with his wife Rita in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains on the Ananda Ashrama in an atmosphere surrounded by nature, on the edge of the wilderness.
