		<title>The Time Signature of Night: Poems</title>
		<description><![CDATA[<strong>Purchase Here:</strong><br>
<strong><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/0963570668" target="_blank">https://www.amazon.com/dp/0963570668</a></strong>
<br>
The Time Signature of Night is the second volume of poetry of a companion set. The first volume is titled Aquifers of Love. The poems in both books reflect the themes of the titles.
<br><br>
“The Time Signature of Night” draws attention to the music that exists everywhere: the obvious music, such as birdsong and insect and animal sounds, but also the quieter music that is drowned out by our cerebral-heavy world. Dorothy Maclean of Findhorn wrote that every plant has a deva that sings it into being. Johannes Kepler wrote of the music of the spheres. We are living in a time of cosmic awakening when we can each finally hear the song of our soul.]]></description>

		<title>Pieta</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Seeing this exquisite work of absolute beauty in St. Peter's Basilica was a highlight of my trip to Rome - and, traveling off-season that I could get up as close as possible was a huge bonus.

It is deserving of its fame as the most famous and awesome statue in the world: the expression on Mary's face, the perfection of every muscle, vein, and nerve ...
Michelangelo was only twenty-four when he carved his masterpiece - out of one block of marble. It was his only work that he signed (which he later regretted doing!) 

Since 1972, it is housed behind bullet-proof glass due to a brutal attack in 1964 which took ten years to restore. (Photo and remarks by Maureen Spagnolo)]]></description>

		<title>Magical Earth</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Photographer Maureen Spagnolo said about this: "I remember I had to pull off the road to take that shot. What an expanse of cloud and sky. I wanted the figures in the shot to give it perspective. That’s the amazing thing about being a city girl  - there’s so much land and sky out there that one becomes unaware of.
Then again, the country folks hardly gave the spectacle a second look. How to not lose the”awe” of life is a quest worth pursuing."]]></description>
