Anne Powell is a Cenacle Sister in Wellington, New Zealand. She is part of an international congregation of women whose mission is to companion people on their inner journeys as they seek meaning, purpose, wholeness, transformation... recovery of the Sacred in the midst of life. Her poems celebrate and explore connections with place, people and spirit. They stir · What is our sense of place? · What is our relationship with the land? · What is our sense of spirit? · What is our sense of connectedness? · What is our sense of purpose? · What is destructive around us? · What is life-giving for us? There's a mysticism of place I am discovering. There's the context, increasingly fractured and troubled, of people's lives. There's the call of the Spirit - the wild, white swan."
