About the author
Earlynn
3 books3 followersBorn in a small Italian immigrant coal mining town in the 1940s, I discovered my love for reading through illustrated children's books, sparking a passion for drawing and sketching horses and dogs. Pursuing this interest, I majored in Art in college, eventually transitioning into a fulfilling career in teaching.
Much of my early adulthood was spent immersed in the serene beauty of wooded surroundings, where my husband and I raised our three children alongside a menagerie of animals and an abundance of plants. As life progressed, my focus shifted increasingly towards drawing and writing. Welcoming grandchildren into my life underscored the importance of addressing timeless themes in ways that are both engaging and meaningful.
Throughout my journey, I've explored profound existential questions, finding clarity through meditation and spiritual communities. My work delves into universal subjects such as love and mortality, transcending specific belief systems to resonate with readers of all perspectives.
Today, I reside once again in the tranquil woods, embracing a philosophy of simplicity and creativity in both life and art.

Beyond Words: Poems of Beloved is a beautiful work of poems that is deeply mindful. Using her knowledge from participating in meditation practices, Earlynn has converted that knowledge into lovely romantic poems, and beautiful hand drawn illustrations. They are love poems about life, gratefulness, and self appreciation. We battle with many things in life as it progresses, and these poems will remind you of that silent place within you that always welcomes you home, and knows you better than anyone else. Reading these, I definitely reconnected with that quiet part of myself that disappears too often in the noise of day to day.

Rumi lives! Spiritually intimate and inspirational poems that never fail to delight. I'm reading it very slowly to prolong the pleasure.
