In an era of chaotic, complex and contradictory global change, 'Personal Shifts' offers a poetic lens into the human experience of navigating post-normal times. This collection weaves together themes of personal transformation, ecological awareness, and spiritual awakening to create a compelling narrative of adaptation and growth in the face of complexity and uncertainty.Through four carefully curated chapters, the poems explore the inner alchemy of transformation, the web of ecological interconnection, the creative potential of uncertainty, and the wisdom of embracing paradox. Drawing on insights from futures studies, systems thinking, and contemplative practice, these verses written over eight years (2016-2024) offer both mirror and medicine for those seeking to find their way through our turbulent age.Perfect for readers interested in contemporary poetry, personal development, ecological consciousness, and societal transformation, 'Personal Shifts' provides a unique bridge between personal and planetary evolution.
