The writings in this book have accompanied me and my morning coffee for weeks now.Today I read the last poem, knowing I will revisit the writings time and time again.The pages are filled with relatable moments and memories of childhood, motherhood, love, friendship, loss, rebirth, and healing.This book will make you FEEL. Most days I cried reading it, not because I was sad, but because her words helped me remember a piece of myself that I had tucked away.Connected tears. Joyful tears. Tears of remembrance blissfully moved through me as I navigated her soulful stories.Thank you Elena for your beautiful work in the world.Today, I am remembering to be soft in the moments that feel so hard.

Softening Time is a sublime collection of soul poetry for the times. Deeply transformative, peaceful, and finely crafted, Elena's book of poetry is timeless and an essential remedy for the times.

An elegant promise of deep resonating prose… just in time… Softening Time by Elena Brower.

This collection of poems is beautiful and unforgettable. Elena’s words came right off the page, into my heart. This book of poetry is autobiographical and that is evident by the depth of emotion in her words. Each page held something important for me to hear. I was inspired to look inward as I read. This is the book of poetry you will want to share, and also keep safe on your nightstand. When I finished the book and closed the back cover, I reopened the front cover, to read it again. Much gratitude to this author for sharing “Softening Time” with us.🦋

Author Elena Brower’s compilation of poems is meant for life that is meaningful and heartbreaking. Highly recommend!
