Synopsis

In this stunning new collection of ecstatic poetry, Paul Goldman, through a collaboration with Intuitive Artist Natosha Keefer, creates a sacred space where you may again feel free to fall into the ocean of your own longing for solace, for peace, for hope and - at the deepest measure of your humanity - an enriched connection to your own personal Divinity.

The transformative power of realizing your innate worth is revealed here, as you are invited to discover anew the color palette to paint the extraordinary canvas that is your own life.

About this title

From the Author:

Upon Your Canvas expands yet deeper, the Divine connection I have had with the One I call my Beloved.  For some, she may represent God while for others she is my muse. All I know is that I have been gifted these precious words ecstatic, for at least the past seven years or so, to craft these Divinely inspired ecstatic poems.
 
From the first birthing of these poems in my Spoken Word CD Wild Joy:Released, to the fleshing out further in Wild Joy:Ruminations and on to the expansive awakening to Oneness found in Journey Into Oneness, I have found great strength in going within, tuning in to the rhythm of both my breath and heart and engaging myself in deep listening.
 
The sweet thread woven through all of these books is an invitation for you to become still, to know yourself as a beloved child of your Creator [however that may look for you] and to ever deepen your connection to the One who gives you that sense of there being something greater than yourself, greater than your own humanity.
 
Upon Your Canvas, with its collaboration with Intuitive Artist Natosha Keefer, is both a metaphor for life and a deep invitation for you to consider how you now wish to paint the canvas of your own life. The psychologists refer to this concept as a tabla rasa or blank slate from which you may now create the life you have always dreamed about.
 
We may discover a grand experience of coming home, at last:
 
Come Home, Come Home
 
Ripples of time, skip pebbles
across my heart, as the letting go
gets easier.
 
Past and future no longer 
have any meaning.
 
In the bliss of silent memory,
we just listen- to the sound-
calling us, calling us
home...
 

From the Back Cover:

"Paul Goldman's poetry offers up captivating Truth, served in bite-sized morsels with a sweetness that lingers long after the reading is done. Add the visual feast of the accompanying art in Upon Your Canvas, and you have a full course meal of soul nourishment. A delicious treat you will be tempted to share with everyone you love."
Lori Ann Lothian Creator of the Awakened Dreamer blog (theawakeneddreamer.com) Senior editor, Good Men Project, Good for the Soul.
 
Paul Goldman's collection of poetry and [Natosha Keefer's] paintings in Upon Your Canvas is exquisite, full of moments of insight that are not so much crafted as perceived, in the way that Irish musicians say they don't so much compose a tune as hear it in nature and capture the sounds. When it works, and it usually does, his words "come close to conveying / what my heart hears." This is deeply-felt poetry, a pleasure to read and revisit.
Dan Furst, Author of Dance of the Moon and Surfing Aquarius & Actor in An Evening With Rumi
 
Paul & Natosha by combining their art forms move the heart and the soul, transcending, merging, colliding and recognizing the story each is revealing to the other in "Upon Your Canvas". Each being being present in the moment of their art form, drawing us in and sharing with us their divine palette of words scripted across the illusion of our limited vision.
Susan Prout, Intuitive Artist
 
"Upon Your Canvas" sets a theme for a forensic look at who we are as conscious individuals. A self portrait of our thoughts, fears, love, pain and kinship with each other and the planet. Paul's poetry magnifies beautifully the essence of all we are as a human species.
