In Simplicity of Thought

IN SIMPLICITY OF THOUGHT by JULIAN BOUND

A poetry collection exploring the concepts of Mindfulness, Contemplation, Reflection, Silence, Solitude, Respite and Observation to a backdrop of Eastern philosophy, taken from the author's experiences encountered when on foreign shores.

From the vast barren landscapes of Central Tibet to the golden hillside temples of Northern Thailand, the fortress monasteries of Bhutan, the silence found deep within Japan's bamboo groves, and from the teardrop shaped lakes of inner Nepal to India's Himalayan mountain paths, all moments met with and captured in verse to convey emotions happened upon within a present moment.

A poetry collection from the author of 'The Geisha and The Monk.'
