Breath is a mortal affair, for without it, we are dead. But before breath, there must be thought. These two then connect mind and body to reach our soul-and allow us to be.
Think Breathe Be is a powerful collection of twenty-one poems by author Faisal M. Mirza, MD, FRCSC, about understanding who you are and helping you become aware of how perfect your life can be through a simple exercise in thought, breath, and presence.
Meant to be spoken aloud in their entirety to fully appreciate the wordplay interspersed throughout the body, verses like "Faithful," "Mesmerizing," and "Considerate Empathy" offer stream-of-consciousness poetic verse that will resonate deeply in your soul.
With words, meanings, references to everything and nothing, feelings, emotions, provocations, patience, and wanting, this book will teach you to think as it guides you to self-healing and awareness.
For fans of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven," Margaret Atwood's The Edible Woman, and Ernest Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea, this gut-wrenching, inspirational exploration of your mind, body, and soul will lead you on a path toward self-awareness and faith in yourself.
About the Author: Faisal M. Mirza, MD, FRCSC, is an orthopaedic surgeon in private practice in Silicon Valley, California, where he lives with his beautiful wife and children. Faisal expands the horizons of the mind, body, and soul through creative writing and art. He was raised in Ottawa and Cape Breton Island and completed his education at Western and McMaster.
Art, music, and poetry of various influences have been a part of his life through inspiration from family, friends, and travels. He began exploring artistic expression after moving to San Francisco where paint on canvas and ink on paper became tools to expand sci-ence and health in abstract tangents.
Although poetic verse was not intentional, Faisal found that his thoughts flowed optimally using a freeform of rhythmic tempos that pushed barriers in his mind beyond deconstruction. His work is ideally enjoyed when read aloud to fully appreciate the wordplay interspersed throughout the body.
