Iris Arla Moore has written poetry since age twelve. It was then that the sudden, unexpected death of her mother caused a severe emotional shock to her brain. After this, she had a spiritual awakening, felt her connection to the spirit, and began writing poetry that flowed through her like a river running. Her spiritual journey includes many spiritual healing therapies and trainings. First was Self-Realization Fellowship, which led to amazing experiences with the immortal master, Haidakhandi Babaji, in India. A Course In Miracles was next. The last several years, she has been a student at a modern school of ancient wisdom: Ramtha's School of Enlightenment . This author has received local and International honors for her poetry. She has also written and published a beautiful and delightful children's picture book (for all ages)-a true story about a pet bantam hen in an auto shop. Henrietta the Guard Chicken has the magic to bond the soul to unconditional love.
