My Soul Knows Love: Poetry and Reflections on Love and Lovelessness

My Soul Knows Love is a collection of poetry and reflections that explores the truth about love-despite the many ways life can confuse, distort, or misuse it. Why does the soul know love? Because the soul is the mind, the will, and the emotions. It is both our ability to discern and the place where our thoughts, experiences, and understanding reside.Therefore when we connect with God: the deepest and highest parts of ourselves—we come into alignment with truth. For God is love. The soul is who we are. This collection is divided into five sections, reflecting the ways we experience love: through God, ourselves, friends, family, and romantic relationships.Though each form of love is connected, each requires its own understanding, its own boundaries, and its own expression.Through deeply personal poetry and reflection, Dianne Jackson explores both love and lovelessness within each of these spaces—inviting readers to examine their own experiences with honesty, compassion and perhaps adjustment. The goal of this book is to make you laugh, cry, feel gratitude, and most of all—reflect. May you be inspired to both give and accept only the truest forms of love—the kind that already lives within your soul. Because it is there… that we find God. Read more
