About the Book

A Season of Spaciousness weaves together original poems, snippets of prose, and beautiful black and white photographs to create an atmosphere that nourishes your heart and soul. This collection, penned by a former palliative care nurse all too familiar with the need for tenderness in this world, is a thematic exploration of birth and death, of loss and hope, of change and healing.

Celeste invites you on a journey of self-affirmation that will empower you to set boundaries when needed, trust in your body, and love yourself as generously as you love others. Here, softness is a virtue, and grief is not an insurmountable roadblock but a conduit for compassion and growth. No matter what struggles you have endured in life, Spaciousness calls on you to deepen your innate wisdom and, above all, come home to yourself.

  • Curling up under a warm blanket with a cup of tea beside a fire would be an amazing thing to do while reading this book. However, it is not necessary, because all the comfort and warmth you will ever need is inside this book. The poetry is so gentle, and so warm. You deserve to gift yourself the pleasure of reading this!

I bought two copies one to always have and one to give to my daughter. I hope this is only one of many to come from this incredible soul.

  • In “A Season of Spaciousness,” Celeste gathers a bouquet of poetic reflections, inner journeys, memories, photographs and powerful messages of validation and love. So much of what she shares resonated for me personally. This is nourishment for the mind, heart and soul. It’s a book to pick up again and again, her words, her voice, a beautiful reminder to embrace our value, our courage, our softness and our inner knowing. It is a call to deeply, compassionately love ourselves and live fully in that love, which helps heal us all as our magic shines out into the world. Celeste, your book touched me so much and I cannot wait to share it with friends who I know will feel the love coming through your words to their heart.

Book Excerpts

I dance in the quiet space
where loss and longing meet
where the ache and the emptiness
bleed into the lines of time
creating a void, I never knew I needed
for a future, I did not dare to dream of
filled with people I haven’t even met yet
who will become

some of the greatest loves of my life

page 45

she looked bravely

into the darkest corners

and found that love resided

even there

especially there

always

there

page 63

I practiced holding onto nothing

but the knowing that everything will change

page 144

 

I’ll meet you there

in the space where our hearts are healing

 in the I don’t know and too soon to tell

 in the I hope and maybe one day

 in the peace of the quiet breath in between

 where everything is lost

 and nothing is promised

 but we are brave enough

 to show up and try again

page 56

 peace is on the horizon

certain like my breath

here now

in and out

even as I sleep

keeping me alive

welcoming me home

page 139

 

I can’t go on

doesn’t mean I can’t go on

it means 

 I must go on differently now
