Inspiration Archives - Soul Essence Love

Art, music, poetry & dance brings us so much joy, elicits emotions and has inspired humankind for countless centuries.

Every week I share art, a poem, song or performance I find inspiring, beautiful or uplifting in some way from classic inspirational writers such as Mary Oliver, Maya Angelou, Anaïs Nin, Rumi, Kahlil Gibran, Thich Nhat Hahn and many others. I also will post some of my own from time to time…

I hope you too will feel inspired and will enjoy this gift of love.
