Thoughts of Love: A Blue Mountain Arts Collection

by Susan Polis Schutz (Editor)

When thoughts of love take up residence in your heart, they bring wonderful feelings of happiness, hope, and tenderness. They transform the world around you into a place where dreams really do come true; they bring a special beauty to each season of your life. Yet as powerful as these thoughts are, they aren't always easy to express. THOUGHTS OF LOVE is for anyone who has ever been at a loss for words to describe the overwhelming emotions created by love. The poems and writings collected here portray and celebrate love in all its many facets. This book is a beautiful gift to give, receive, and share between two hearts that know all the happiness a loving relationship can bring. "Love is an understanding that is so complete that you feel as if you are a part of the other person, accepting the other person just the way they are, and not trying to change them to be something else. Love is the source of unity." - Susan Polis Schutz

Every little poem is wonderful. love is when one keep thinking of only one person while reading poems.

[Aleah Nelson]

Lovely little poems and a quick read. Poems could be for a lover or for your little ones.

[Delaney]

Im sorry but I did not read a single poem in this book that I enjoyed or felt anything from

[Naomi Ciel]

The art was my favorite part. The writing, another story.

Some of the poems fell very, very flat, while others touched my heart in a profound, meaningful, relatable way. Still, I probably wouldn’t recommend this very highly.

Take this with a grain of salt, though, as I am always partial to more lyrical, visually and emotionally descriptive writings on love versus what is definitely to-the-point in this collection. It is telling not showing to be frank. If that is your thing, you will like this little book.
