This book is much more than a record of loss. It is a collection of reflections, prayers, and poems of hundreds of individual souls who collectively tell the story of right now with depth and heart and startling brilliance. On these pages you will find honest testimony of a very difficult time on our planet. Be inspired by these voices and see patterns emerge, feel the pain and longing and hope and faith and frustration and loneliness and transcendence of each contribution. When We Turned Within will help you believe once again that all people share a common humanity, that our souls bind us together, that a better day is possible.
I have three pieces in this book, so I'm not writing from an impartial place. But, with that said, I was excited to read all of the other pieces here. They came from so many walks of life, from people living in very different places and lifestyles. Each person really offered an interesting look at his or her own struggles with Covid-19 and inspirational ways to deal with those struggles. It was a fascinating and uplifting compilation.
