Here’s what Readers Are Saying About MIRRORS:

 

“MIRRORS is an extraordinary book. Not only do we get a chance to read some haunting poems aimed directly at the heart, but we also get the author’s incredible account of what happened after the poems of aborigine Eldred Van-Ooy were sent to him by an Australian business acquaintance. Perhaps Justin Spring says it best when he steps back at the end of MIRRORS and sums up his experience with Van-Ooy: Who can say what it is that brings these messengers from the other world into our lives? Spirit wants a body, it wants roots in this world, it wants to walk the walk and talk the talk. It’s as simple as that. Every soul, every spirit, that arrives in this world ripples the very real water and disturbs the very real earth in a way we can only bend to. They create a truth that will not be denied. Next to that truth, most of our speculations about what is true and what is real and what is illusory seem somewhat beside the point. Truth is what spirit wants it to be. And it can change in a moment. Just like that. Get used to it.
