Planetary Tensions -

poetry by Gail Gray  

 Planetary Tensions—a heraldic call to the chymical wedding of physics and the innate spiritual seeking of collective humanity.  A call to confront the   inner self and awaken to the pivotal responsibility of creation in our lives, the planet and universe. These poems examine how string theory, quantum physics, Jungian thought, ancient mysticism, alchemy and even the chaotic activity of the universe echo the development of human consciousness and it’s amazing capabilities.

 We are only now remembering the power of our true natures.
