Journey of the Heart

Stillness in internal bliss,  calm within, nothing amiss. Presence of the masters known - Gracious God, behold your throne.  Creation, beauty, earth and sky;  that we bear witness, sanctify.

Surinder Prem Kaur is an identical twin, single mom and heart-centered yogi. She feels called to write poetry when her heart is open and she allows stillness to be her anchor. This space is where she feels the divine music. Lover of the earth, the ocean, trees and sky, and all beings, Surinder Prem desires to walk peacefully on her path, welcoming all with harmlessness and compassion. *For submission guidelines,  click here. *
