“Reverend Patricia and I have traveled on our spiritual and physical journey together for the past twenty-five-plus years. Together we have visited many sacred and beautiful places—India, Thailand, Russia, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, and many more.

Patty always has her eyes, mind, and heart open to the beauty and the wisdom gleaned from each destination, and that is reflected in her sacred and deep-feeling poetry.

She writes straight from a well of love, compassion, and respect for our precious planet and all creatures who dwell upon it, be it human or animal. Her poetry is a thing of beauty and is in rhythm with the entire Universe.”

“Patricia Truman’s sustained spiritual practice manifested this profound volume of poetry, Mystic Cloud Walker. A Science of Mind practitioner and ordained minister, Rev. Truman allows the One Mind to flow through her into the passages on the page.

You will indeed find Divine inspiration here, for it channels through her. You will also discover that the One Mind has a social consciousness and physical tenderness and yearning.

Her poetry is an invitation not to just walk one mile in her moccasins, but to travel the world with her to visit sacred sites in walking shoes, to don sturdy hiking boots to tackle challenging terrain, to strap on sandals to traverse the warm sand, to dip bare toes in the ocean, to cultivate the garden in sneakers, and to sizzle on stage in stilettos.

This may prove to be a rediscovery of the natural and the familiar, of beauty surrounding you that you have ceased to see, of an inner urging to transcend and commune with the Infinite. Please accept this invitation to join this journey of a lifetime with this amazing poet.”

— Adrian S. Windsor, Ph.D.

“What you hold in your hands is a modern-day mystic’s contemplation of the nature of life and your part in it. Searching, deeply moving into the intimate spaces within heart and mind, Patricia Truman leads the way.

Sometimes playful but always personal, the poet evokes images of a searcher, a walker through the journey of life, using the theme that the walker determines her own path, exploring the depths and heights and breadths of human consciousness.

The book examines the concept that every individual creates their own life, moment by moment, by the choices made. She makes clear that the wanderer’s path is sacred, containing portals and passages for each of us to glimpse the mystical. Every chapter focuses on an aspect of life.

From the first page, the reader is invited to see life through the eyes of the Divine. This book of poetry is one to be read slowly and pondered. It is deeply evocative, providing lush images that impel the reader to question assumptions and look more deeply at life.

Deeply mystical, it whispers; it doesn’t shout. It playfully prods and pokes. This is an exploration of consciousness, asking if there is a divine plan to follow and then answering that it seems so.

Patricia writes:

For where my little will

bows to a wiser will

and my true identity, more clearly

comes forth,

and I more easily relax into a larger, wiser

unnamed prompting from the unseen,

but deeply felt

Eternal Authority.

Walk mindfully and savor this treasure.”

— Rev. Dr. Heather Dawn Clark
