They will dervish you into the sky, into your own inner sanctuary, inviting a deep remembering.” ~ Cit Ananda, When Silence Speaks: Messages from the Heart “In the tradition of Rumi and Hafiz, each piece ignites a sacred aliveness deep within us. The entire collection invites us to open our hearts more fully, join the divine stage, and whirl again. This book is a jewel." ~ Chelan Harkin, The Prophetess: The Return of the Prophet from the Voice of the Divine Feminine "Sage Taylor Kingsley's words hold the mark of the true mystic. These magic words know how to dance! In the tradition of Rumi and Hafiz, each piece ignites a sacred aliveness deep within us. The entire collection invites us to open our hearts more fully, join the divine stage, and whirl again. This book is a jewel." Chelan Harkin, The Prophetess "One does not fall into the words of Sage Taylor Kingsley's poetry- her words fall into you and become the seasons of awakening. It's like holding your mouth open and letting the whole blue sky fall in, in the Springtime ... or letting strawberries burn your lips red in the Summer. This collection is not a seed in the garden of the soul, it is the whole forest. I found myself in that forest." Kendall Rosenberg M.A., All the Candles I Light for Myself, I Light for You "Sage's poetry has got an element of Rupi Kaur but is more grown up and sexy. More magical. More joyful!" E. M. McConnell, Of Swans and Stars "Sage's stirring words inspire, arouse, soothe, and surprise, speaking to us of self-love, sensuality, natural delights, and sacred connections. As a lover of carnal pleasures, she weaves a sizzling web of words around you, while as a profoundly mystic poet, she uses rhythm, repetition, rhyme, and a transcendent grasp of language and lyricism to bring us closer to the divine. "Turn to this book whenever you need cheering up, grounding down, or expansion of your soul. You will love every page." Lanette Sweeney, What I Should Have Said: A Poetry Memoir about Losing a Child to Addiction "This brilliant treasure is a wellspring for all souls in communion with the sacred bliss of the Divine (who may be a She!). Drink from the chalice of Sage's wisdom and imbibe the beauty of eternal love within the truth of poetic inspiration." Julia Lindsay Carroll, Star Ride "Every piece made this adrenaline-fueled speed reader slow down, savor each line slowly and reverently, as if dining at the finest gourmet restaurant. Sage is a walking, writing, embodiment of the divine feminine, highly drunk on love, and, in my opinion, a modern-day Hafiz and, dare I say it, Rumi. The word 'goddess' gets tossed around too much these days, but I would not hesitate to use the G word to describe her. Her love of life pours from every poem." Scott Grace, Mindful Masculinity "Sage is a mystic poet of extraordinarily powerful love and passion for the Divine. She has the unique desire and ability to hold her reader in the same way that the Divine holds creation. She writes, 'Who holds the ancient stones/in the silent beds/holds us.' "Her poems are incantatory, rhythmic, evocative. Delightful and compelling, ecstatic and loving. "I adore her musical alliteration and assonance, and I find many of her poems bold, wild, playful, and hilarious! She is living proof that spirituality does not have to always be somber and serious! Sage is an inventive craftswoman with a wide variety of poetic forms, styles, ideas, and approaches, from sacred to sexy-and the imagery! "I will always want more from Sage, as she opens her heart to us, expanding our joy in the revelation of our own divine spirit in the world." Achali Hall, To Whom Do I Bow Sage
