    This episode is dedicated to all the brave, courageous souls around the world who continue to stand for human dignity, even when doing so requires quiet strength, resilience, and the willingness to walk a less familiar path.

    Happy New Year - New Beginnings

    As the year turns, this short episode offers a pause rather than a conclusion. Poetic Resurrection is a space for poetry, writing, curiosity, questioning, and acceptance—but above all, for noticing what it means to be human without rushing toward answers. This New Year reflection is an invitation to stay curious, allow space for expression in whatever form it takes, and meet the coming year with a little more gentleness. May your questions stay generous, your words stay honest, and your becoming unfold at its own pace. Thank you for listening, reflecting, and being here.

    Sonia Iris Lozada - Esperando & On Voices Outside of Us

    In this episode of Poetic Resurrection, Sonia Iris Lozada reflects on the many voices that surround us in today’s world and the importance of returning to the quiet truth within. Through her reflection On Voices Outside of Us, she invites us to pause, breathe, and rediscover the steady voice that belongs to us alone. The episode then shifts into Sonia’s poem Esperando — originally written in Spanish and featured in her poetry collection Inspire Me: Raw. The poem explores memory, longing, and the crossroads between past and present, weaving imagery of desert landscapes, childhood echoes, and cultural reflection. Together, the reflection and poem create a meditation on presence, resilience, and the gifts hidden in waiting. Reflect with Sonia: - Which voices outside of you are shaping your path? - How does your own voice return you to stillness? - What truths are quietly forming in your waiting?

    The Path: Release, Renewal & Returning to Your True Self

    In this episode of Poetic Resurrection, we explore “The Path,” a poem from my collection Inspire Me: Awakening Dreams. This piece invites us into the quiet wisdom of nature — where release, stillness, and renewal are part of every cycle. As we walk from the noise of the world into the calm of the natural world, the poem mirrors our inner journey toward clarity and emotional rebirth. Through gentle reflection and psychological insight, we explore how letting go becomes nourishment for new growth, how presence restores peace, and how nature reminds us that change is not failure — it's transformation. If you're navigating transition, healing, or simply seeking grounding in your day, this episode offers a moment of breath, contemplation, and renewal. “The Path” is part of the poetry collection Inspire Me: Awakening Dreams, available wherever books are sold.

    Sonia Iris Lozada - Outcast: A Flower Misunderstood

    In this episode of Poetic Resurrection, Sonia Iris Lozada shares her poem “Outcast” from her book Inspire Me: Awakening Dreams. Inspired by the dandelion—so often dismissed as a weed yet full of nourishment and healing—Sonia reflects with emotion and compassion on what it means to be misunderstood, overlooked, and yet quietly resilient. While the poem was born from feeling, listeners may also hear echoes of psychology within it. Carl Jung’s shadow self reminds us that what we push away may hold hidden medicine, and the study of resilience speaks to the strength of rising again after being uprooted. Themes: - Misunderstanding and hidden value - Emotional resilience in the face of rejection - Jung’s shadow as a lens for integration - Nature as metaphor for the human spirit

    Sonia Iris Lozada - Doorway: A Soul's Passage Through Perception

    In this episode, Sonia Iris Lozada shares her poem Doorway, a reflection on thresholds—those moments in life where we stand between what has been and what is yet to come. With her signature blend of poetry and conversation, Sonia invites listeners to consider the spaces we step into and the ones we leave behind. The doorway serves as a metaphor for transition—whether grief, growth, or new beginnings. The stillness before stepping through is just as meaningful as the act of moving forward. Every doorway asks us to choose: to stay in the known, or to enter the unknown. Sonia connects the poem to her own experiences of grief, transformation, and creativity. Doorways exist in many forms: relationships, careers, health, and inner growth. It’s okay to pause at a threshold—reflection is part of the journey. Crossing through is an act of courage, even when the next room is uncertain. Poetry can help us reframe transition not as loss, but as opportunity for expansion. Reflection questions for listeners: What doorway are you standing in front of right now in your life? What feelings arise when you imagine stepping through it? What do you want to leave behind on the threshold? What do you hope to find on the other side? If Sonia’s words resonated with you, share this episode with someone who may be at their own threshold.

    Sonia Iris Lozada - Insensible - When Grief Becomes Too Much to Feel

    In this episode of *Poetic Resurrection*, Sonia Iris Lozada shares her poem *Insensible*, written during a time of overwhelming grief. The poem explores the raw emotions that often accompany loss: frustration, anger, exhaustion, and numbness. Rather than offering a neat resolution, Sonia reflects on how grief sometimes manifests as emotional overload and the inability to feel at all. - Grief is not always tears—it can manifest as frustration, irritability, or numbness. - Emotional overload often leads to temporary emotional shutdown, a natural coping mechanism. - Healing does not follow a timetable and can include moments of silence, anger, and detachment. - Allowing grief to unfold without forcing clarity is itself an act of healing. - “Don’t ask me for anything / I’m exhausted by existence.” - “I don’t have the patience to think / to write / to be.” - “Just emotionlessness, yet full of emotion / Emotional overload / insensible.” Sonia reflects on her own experiences with grief, sharing how periods of numbness and irritability were not signs of failure, but part of the grieving process itself. By embracing these feelings without judgment, healing gradually unfolded. The episode encourages listeners to accept their emotional states, even when they feel contradictory or uncomfortable. Listeners are invited to reflect on their own relationship with grief and to give themselves permission to feel—or not feel—without expectation. The reminder is simple: grief is not something to control, but something to witness and live through. Healing comes with time, compassion, and patience. Episode closes with an offering: a reminder that numbness, rage, and silence are all part of healing. Sonia leaves listeners with the gentle affirmation that if all you can do today is breathe—that is enough.   "Clean Soul" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
