Preface: The Scent of Love is everywhere throughout our lives. Sometimes we do not notice because we sleepwalk through life. Some of us wake up and the heavy burden of earth teases us with scents everywhere. Then there are those of us who rise above earth to experience divine love and ecstasy. We are all on a journey at different places along love's highway. And that is okay.A part of the seeker's life is invested in longings that start in the physical, expands in the mental, faces the storms in the emotional and arrives at the spiritual ready to merge in the ultimate experience of divine love in this life time.A poet forages in the shifting valleys of love in harmony and conflict with mind, body and soul. The poems in this body of work address the desire to reach for the union of mind, body and soul in a spiritual merger. Love is universal and there is something for everyone between the sheets of these lines. May you be intimately touched at every level you are ready to receive.May you be stimulated physically, emotionally and spiritually as you move through love's perpetual garden of scents and find the scent of love that resonates and lifts your soul.Teresa E.
