“Gail Warner is a wise and kind soul who has gathered a lifetime of
insights in her book of poems, Weaving Myself Awake. Like sunlight
that seeps through the cracks of a barn as the day unfolds, Gail’s
voice softens our burden without looking away from the truth of
things as they are. Her voice has a dignity and clear elegance. She
is an honest companion in our conversation with meaning.”
—Mark Nepo, author of The One Life We’re
Given and The Way Under The Way
“This collection of poems is a glorious love song to the Divine
Feminine from one of her most surprised and ardent companions. In
each lyrical jewel, Gail Warner reveals the secret name of the One
we have been waiting for, the Mother who gathers the world in her
arms and offers the remedy we most need: boundary-breaking,
community-mending, heart-melting love.”
—Mirabai Starr, author of God of Love and Caravan of No Despair
“Gail’s poems powerfully and tenderly name truth, desire, and
beauty—the Feminine Herself. She reveals her own transformation in
the most vulnerable of ways and simultaneously invites my own. One
cannot step into these pages without being changed; it's a journey
worth taking, to be sure. And Gail is the kindest, wisest, and most
trustworthy of guides.”
—Ronna Detrick, MDiv, spiritual director and author of Throwing
Stones
“In Weaving Myself Awake, Gail Warner shares with us the beauty
that bubbles up from the inner well of listening, sensing, feeling
the pulse of the Mystery. Her voice reeks of the deep feminine that
understands from the inside the richness of the ordinary, the
sanctity of our bodies, and our relationship with our earth.”
—Miranda Macpherson, author of Boundless Love
“A deep submersion into a unique sharing of an inward journey to a
core of rich abundance that leaves us infused with an awe-filled
breath of gratitude.”
—Bill White, PhD, psychologist and former president of IIBA
“Weaving Myself Awake offers an extraordinary passage into the
mystical divine feminine. Through Gail Warner’s intimate sharing of
her personal journey as she is birthed into a relationship of
Beauty and Love, we too are pierced and entered by Her—the feminine
divine—as she weaves her tender and gentle awakening in our own
hearts as well.”
—Reverend Cynthia Brix, coauthor of Women Healing Women and
contributing author of Divine Duality
“Through her beautiful, unique, and profound poetry, Gail Warner
invites us to find our earthly holiness. Nature, for her, is the
mother of both our body and our spirit. She shows us how the
natural beauty around us reflects the beauty within us. She asks us
to join her on the path toward finding our own precious uniqueness
and wholeness.”
—Robert Hilton, PhD, author of Somatic Relational Therapy: Writings
of Robert Hilton and cofounder of Southern California Institute for
Bioenergetic Analysis, and Virginia Hilton, PhD, LCSW and former
president of IIBA
“In Weaving Myself Awake, Gail Warner’s images and words become
invocations, blessings, and offerings that thread though her life,
and now ours. These living energies have grown and evolved as Gail
has continued to pursue the art of life, becoming the expression
and experience of one who is a wisdom keeper.”
