It’s the start of the year, and many of us are looking forward to better days ahead. Last year is just full of sadness and negativity. From pandemic to riots, it felt like 2020 sort of disconnected us from all that’s wonderful and beautiful about life. This distance between us all the positive things begin with our appreciation of life and our faith in God despite what is happening all around us. Sometimes, all we need to get things going and find our balance in life is our faith. In the past, we have featured Raymond Quattlebaum and his works. Quattlebaum is a poet and a published author. Today, we are going to take a look at his first book, Poetry in Motion, a book that celebrates life, faith, and God’s grace. Poetry in Motion is the kind of inspiration we need in our lives today.

Poetry in Motion: Celebrating the Great Circle of Life

Poetry in Motion is a 72-page book of delightful and inspiring poetry. This collection of works by Raymond Quattlebaum was published in 2009. This is Raymond Quattlebaum’s first major work, and it speaks many things about the beauty of life and how life guides into these awesome perpetual motions. Quattlebaum takes us on a journey of life appreciation and reconnecting with positivity and devotion to God. Raymond Quattlebaum uses his poetry to remind us that our lives have a purpose, and it does not end with us doing anything. Each of us is called to play a role, and that role is bigger than us and bigger than the obstacles we are facing because God is in the center of all this life’s designs.

“So here it is, the book called Poetry In Motion. Poetry is life in Motion, Motion is the Poetry of Life, spinning at a vibration so magnificent, a vision for the world to see. Here, at last, is a book, the Chapters of Poetry In Motion, as we express ourselves through life. If a picture is worth a thousand words, what can you say for a mental visualization? Yes, life is a stage, and we all play a part, but what part do you play in the great scheme of life? As we know, to be a part, you must play a part in the great circle of life and beauty. This book is designed to bring to the reader life in the passage as we know it, the miracle of who we are, Poetry In Motion Life in the Presence of God”
