I Am We: Poems

I Am We is a soulful collection of poems from author and yogi Dave Ursillo that invites you deeper into your journey of yoga, or yoking, in your everyday life.

The yoga of life is a personal voyage beyond ordinary well-being—a liberating expedition into total, unapologetic union between body, mind and spirit. Cultivating this soul-deep harmony is a lifelong practice that compels you to make peace between your warring facets, stitch wounds so you can heal, discover connection and love in the world around you, and illuminate the divine spirit that resides within.

I Am We invites you to unearth the many faces that make up the unique soul called You, and bring them into harmony. These scalpel-sized poems skewer self-doubt, dismiss fear at its source, and excavate the true self from bondage as you live your life to the fullest, every day.

Explore your playful side ("A HAND STRETCHED OUT") and the undeniably powerful essence of your divinity ("I AM THE STARS"). Drink in devotion in your daily life ("TALKING WITH GOD") before dipping into a little foul-mouthed defiance ("SOME KIND OF SELF-LOVE"). Swirl in vivid ideals ("HURLING PRAYERS") and stand up for yourself, without apology ("THOUGH STONES SHALL CRUMBLE").

I Am We is a companion, a guide, and the diary you never kept. Surrender into a state of blissful vulnerability or being broken open ("THE SHELL OF ME"). Swim through feeling just-fallen-in-love ("LOVE-DRUNK"). Knock on death's door, and live ("THE FLOW HAS FOUND ME").

With the same artful emotion and engaging depth that inspired readers in his poetic debut (God Whispers on the Wind, 2012), Ursillo’s second collection of poems exists to empower your journey of yoking yourself into peace, fullness and truth.

"Poems may be written with less ink than could cover a scalpel," Ursillo writes in the introduction, "but can entirely skewer a galactic conundrum down to a morsel for our noshing. A twisted, thorny dilemma loses some of its prickly might when a poem can cut free the rose atop it."

I Am We invites union of mind, body and spirit with poems that knit the many faces of You under the banner of One Soul.
