    About this ebook

    Awakening
    Like denying spring to a flower, its glory never to be fulfilled, relinquishing the world around, unaided by the healing serenity of nature,
    and neglecting immediacy with a diversity of lives will befog in darkness the habitat of ones spirit within ... Bolko Rawicz

    Bolko Rawicz is a Vancouver-based poet who derives inspiration from a variety of personal experiences. In his first volume of contemporary poetry, he shares verse created during an eight-year time frame and written in a variety of stylessome highly symbolic, others more literal.

    From the thrills of falling in love to the hopeless doubt that surrounds regrets to the peace that accompanies spending time in nature to the questions and answers that complement a unique spiritual journey, Rawiczs fresh and captivating poems intertwine relatable emotions with real-life experiences that illuminate not just the challenges but also the joys of life.

    Something to Believe In provides a glimpse into one mans journey through a life well lived as he reflects on kindness, love, nature, Sunday mornings and everything in between.
