Cit Ananda’s Publications

are presented (mostly) in chronological order with gratitude to the editors who have chosen to share this work forward. The recordings are the poems along with crystal alchemy singing bowls and some may have the rhythmic breathing of our Beloved pooch, Lava, in the background. Headphones optimize the experience of the singing bowls. Enjoy.

 

Poet Biography

Cit Ananda Fowler, DDiv., experiences language as a proxy pointing to the mystical elegance of life. Her poetry is inspired by direct experience, captured in moments between perception when the mind falls quiet. She will tell you she catches poetry on the winds of the universe. She lives with her husband, two children, a fox-red lab, a rescue cat and a calico bunny in Idaho. Cit Ananda has work published in Mountain Path, Tiferet Journal, Amethyst Review, Soul-Lit, OFFERINGS: A Spiritual Poetry Anthology from Tiferet Journal, and El Portal.

 

 

Announcing

When Silence Speaks:

Messages from the Heart

 

Reading the mystic poetry in When Silence Speaks: Messages from the Heart is like the best friend you haven’t seen in years entering through the front door of your soul. Each poem approaches surrender from a different angle, shepherding you to surrender as you embrace these transcendent poems, like the scent of roses, into your Heart.

 

Experiences are played with, spun on a prayer wheel of words, revealing a deeper, truer purpose, and unraveling the sacred mystery of life. Reading this collection is like hearing the whispers of a loved one and feeling the gentle touch of their nurturing hand on your shoulder as you sit together in silence, without any need for words to know each other’s Heart, to hear each other’s prayers. These poems are that close, guiding you to discover the inherent Divinity within your humanity.
