This anthology, Mindful: 100 Poems of Reflections and Recollections, is an invitation to an inward journey�a deep breath taken amidst the rush of life. It is an exploration of the self and the world through the dual lenses of introspection and memory. This is the third volume of Rhodesia�s 100 Poems Series, following Soulful (100 Poems of Love, Faith and Life), and Heartful (100 Poems on Joy, Adventure and Resilience).
These hundred poems form a dialogue between the inner and outer self, a mosaic of moments and insights designed to inspire, challenge, and ultimately, bring the reader back to the quiet, profound realization of the diamond within. The tapestry of topics is rich, as well as the forms of poetry used to convey them - from sonnets, to lyrical poetry, to haikus and free verses. The anthology ends with several poems about the finiteness of life, inviting the reader to begin again with the end in mind - this time, guided by precious wisdom packaged in short, nugget-sized golden verses of poetry.
