Who knew that memories of a spiritual retreat and a long bumpy roll down the mountainside blended with a college student's new awareness would result in such a touching and heartwarming literary adventure. That adventure comes alive through the words that rhythmically flow from the pages of the book, We Surrender: A Collection of Inspirational Poems & Lyrical Verse. Buy your copy! Amazon UjimaPressRC    We Surrender: A Collection of Inspirational Poems and Lyrical Verse ismore than a tender poetry book. It is a rhythmic combination of subtle mind joggers, of fond memories, of vivid calls to action, of ancestral remembrances, of joy, of passion, of witty call and response, and of personal visions shared in love. The words reflect the experiences, thoughts, and perspicacity of the mother-daughter team known as Seasons of the Mind: Akosua & Sakinah Ali-Sabree. This soulful book, full of positive inspiration, also includes a reflection guide and gentle reminders of just how Divine each reader truly is.   Excerpt Canaan Valley Amidst the winding paths, and the tall trees the morning pleasantly greets me the sun warms me the mountains and trees whisper to me. A calmness penetrates and surrounds me the doubts and sorrows I carried here stripped from me on the mountaintop. As I roll rapidly down the mountainside unaware of the end safe in the infinite arms of God I release my fear, have fun and rejoice as rapture rushes in. The earth hugs me and I rest here knowing I shall return to Canaan Valley. by Akosua Ali.Sabree

We Surrender helped me to remember the good things life has to offer. I cried, laughed, said amen, and sometimes found myself imagining peaceful places and things. In short I surrendered.
