The poetry of Paul Goldman quietly beckons the reader to shift their attention from the ordinary way we look at things to that of the extraordinary, revealing to us our deep interconnection with the divine source, the oneness, of all things. Again and again he turns our focus upon this deeper reality, this constant presence, evoking images of sublime love and beauty, using a language that is at once simple and elegant, yet infused with a heartfelt passion, a playful enthusiasm and joy which is simply delightful. His work continually reminds me of that of Rumi as he gently urges us to shed all those meaningless distractions which create a fall sense of self, to re-immerse ourselves in that divine source, perfect love, which is what we truly are and to which we ultimately are destined to return. Highly recommended!
