Pathways
Step into the heart of life’s quiet revelations—where poetry meets memory, and wisdom blooms from the ordinary.
In Pathways, Margaret A. Westlie masterfully weaves poetry and prose into a rich tapestry of life’s moments—sometimes poignant, sometimes playful, always profoundly human. With the warmth of a seasoned storyteller and the precision of a poet, Westlie reflects on childhood innocence, aging and resilience, family, grief, nature, memory, and the spiritual wonder of everyday things.
From a mother’s accidental sip of bagpipe seasoning to meditations on winter birches and whispered winds, each piece in this collection leads readers down paths of recognition and reflection. Westlie’s voice is clear and compassionate—steeped in the textures of Prince Edward Island and guided by a deep reverence for the small truths that shape us.
This is a book for those who savor quiet moments, crave emotional authenticity, and believe that a life well observed is a life well lived.
