Dr Joy Philippou MBE in ‘Meditation Poems’ brings zest and a love of life to a modern way of quiet reflection, resolving what might seem this paradox in a way that is uniquely hers.
POEM

In Search of the Higher Self

On a lonely pilgrimage not knowing how,
Through the jungle of my interior,
Frantically searching for Here and Now
And A SELF that is superior,

I encounter my changing self
Bound by Karmic chains;
Synthetically over-conditioned,
Seeking conventional gains,
Stimulated, brain-washed and always at war.
Then in a lighting glimpse of my undefiled
Whole,


And the unassailable peace at my core
I perceive His image mirrored n my Soul
