The Heart’s Curtain
In The Heart’s Curtain, Madeleine Onraet releases poems emerging from years of meditation and inquiry into the nature of suffering. Her insights arise from looking deeply into moments of everyday life. In her search to understand who we truly are, Madeleine finds a path that brings peace, presence and love. Every moment is an invitation towards truth.
EXPLORER
We have such need
to climb
into the darkness
of ourselves.
How else
are we to learn
what it is
our hearts
most seek?
Stars form
in the arms
of deep
space.

These poems are blessings I will return to again and again.” — Joyce Kornblatt, novelist and former Professor of Literature and Creative Writing, University of Maryland, USA
