“In Talking to Myself, Teresa Arthur crafts a luminous tapestry of verse and reflection. Her spiritual resilience and poetic insight uplift the soul and inspire a profound encounter with the mercy of God.” – Dr. Sebastian Mahfood, OP, author of The Narrative Spirituality of Dante’s Divine Comedy
Teresa Arthur, abandoned a career as a doctor, not wanting to risk a burning flame of love in Bombay melt away while studying medicine in a city 600 kms away. A science graduate at the time, she, instead, taught science and chemistry, first in India, later in the United Arab Emirates and lastly in Canada. An ardent reader of history and fiction and a culinary wizard in multi -ethnic cuisine, she had never made known her secret passion for poetry, her soul’s freedom and her heart’s mouthpiece. So, in time, verses poured out on the pages of her journals every time beauty and truth would awaken her. But when in July 2018, a cancer diagnosis came down on her like a ton of bricks, she sharpened her pencils and her verses shifted focus to thoughts on faith, the mystical, creation, human suffering and above all, the gospels of Jesus Christ. She and her husband Robin live in Halifax. They have three children and seven grandchildren.

But O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of red,
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.
– from “O Captain! My Captain!”
by Walt Whitman
This second volume of poems is the poetic expression of the second stage of grief – anger. The pain that had been previously denied gets its opportunity to speak. These poems reflect the searing pain of a broken and neglected heart. This second book continues the life of poetry, the expression of grief, and the troubling encounter of a pain once ignored.

Elisabeth Kübler-Ross described five stages of grief as follows:
1) Denial – an unwillingness to accept a loss and a rejection of the reality that loss brings
2) Anger – frustration at a situation one perceives is out of his or her control
3) Bargaining – negotiating with God or with whatever might pass for a higher being whom one perceives has control
4) Depression – sadness or despair at one’s situation of loss
5) Acceptance – acknowledgment of the reality of the loss
In this series of books, poet Daniel Mahoney has accomplished something profound, a laying out in verse of, as Alexander Pope described of wit, ‘what oft was thought but ne’er so well expressed.’ His healing process is also ours as his poetry teaches us that all five of these stages contribute to our healing.” – Dr. Sebastian Mahfood, OP, co-author with Ronda Chervin of Catholic Realism
Daniel Mahoney is a husband, father, and a poet. He writes about beauty in the simplicities of life and gives voice to the experience of grief. Daniel seeks to increase the awareness of grief and calls people to encounter our Lord amidst their sorrows. He is a practicing Catholic in the Diocese of Madison where he lives with his wife and two boys.The page you requested could not be found.

“After a particularly over-stimulating day, I read the poems in Vol.1 A LOOK AT LIFE, and the tension in my body just faded away. Belinda has a deep relationship with God and that relation gifted her with the words to help all of us connect with him. The poems were calming, grounding, and inspirational. Belinda is a talented author and an engaging speaker. She has written other books and educational material, and I know there are more articles, books, etc. to come. Belinda has been my friend for over 30 years. She has always been supportive and encouraging to me even at her own low points in life. I couldn’t ask for a better friend. There have been gaps of time without communication in our friendship, due to life circumstances, but when we reconnect it’s like no time has passed. Belinda, herself, is an inspiration.” – Judy Holland, MSW, LCSW-BACS dba Recovery Pathways
