Excerpts
My Inner House
My inner house is portable and light,
I can get in just by closing my eyes
and feel welcome as soon as I feel my breath.
It is spacious and quiet and I feel at peace.
Its foundations are made of acceptance.
Its walls are made of compassion.
Its roof is made of trust.
At its centre is a fire made of love
that keeps me warm and safe.
I leave the windows open
to hear the song of the blackbird.
Blckbird Song (Meditation)
I see him on top of a tree
singing his heart out, like a tenor.
This is his act.
No fees, no scripts, no rehearsals.
Singing for the pleasure
of singing; a calling ingrained
in his brain and in his heart.
His song is so magnificent and powerful !
It feels as if it has a magic spell
that makes everything around
stop and listen.
The Perfect Team
When I don’t put my heart
into what I am doing,
it feels empty,
as if I haven’t done it.
What a difference when I
invite my heart and my mind
to work together as a team.
I then take the time
to do what I am doing with love
and give it my full attention.
Pre-Publication Praise for My Inner House
“It takes a mindful observation paired with imagination and a joyful and appreciative heart to capture so much beauty and wisdom from nature, turn it into beautiful gems and share them with such candour and kindness.”
Circular Economy and Regenerative Business Mentor, Co-founder @circulo_katsi
“Alicia’s subtle poetry collection is much more than that, it combines poetry, painting & mindfulness, to take you to a deep experience that will profoundly touch your heart & soul. She takes you to a journey of consciousness where small things are made into art.”
Mentor, Author, CEO Mama_Coach
“Alicia’s book is about mindfulness, about us, about nature, and about being. While reading her poems you pause, breathe, feel and open yourself to the experience of being alive. Her “seeing” and feeling of what we automatically take for granted: a tree, a blackbird eating, our Sunday naps, opens new dimensions into us being human.”
English-Spanish Translator, Regenerative Scriber
“This is a treasure of a book. This is one I’ll be keeping by my bed, or next to where I have my morning cuppa. Looking through Alicia’s eyes at the world has made it more immediate, more beautiful, more worthy of appreciation. I have been moved to tears a number of times as I read, as a deep truth hit home, and cheered up when I felt sad.”

“Alicia’s poems transported me to the inner house that is our soul. Every passage beautifully describes those simple moments we take for granted; the wonderful life manifestations contained in all natural elements and in daily, mundane activities. Some poems left me wanting more, to finally realize it’s my job to complete the poem with my own thoughts and reflect on how this message applies to me. A true gift to become mindful and connect within.”

“Alicia takes us on a trip to the sanctuary of her own inner home, opening the rooms of her mindful living and her highly wired and deliciously rich connection to nature. She is contagious in her art, and makes space in every room for a garden to the infinite, whether it is the apple, the tree, the blackbird, the rain, there is always more excitement from the mysteries of life. You will discover in her poems all the hints pointing at the big Orchestration of Nature and the Divine, always in the perfect timing talking to us, through us”

“Alicia’s divine heart and soul glow through the pages of this anthology. Her words transport you to a deep place within yourself, which is truly a gift. In Alicia’s words “in such a hectic world…I find peace in my inner house” – and you will find peace in this book.”
