    About this ebook

    Im missing out on the joy!
    What must I do to improve my outlook, my perspective, my prospects, to make my everyday, ho-hum life better?
    Just allow a shift in the way you see your life and the world. It sounds much too simple, but thats exactly where Louise Holders verses lead us. Re-directing the way you view your everyday experience really is a game-changer.


    We are, after all, apprentice angels
    on a quest for purpose and joy.


    Apprentice Angels
    Light-hearted verse
    -- always perceptive, sometimes profound --
    stealth wisdom cloaked in fun

    Dive in!

    THE WATERS FINE
    My role is a day-dream in motion,
    And when scanning the view from above
    I can see consciousness as an ocean.
    Im doing the back stroke in Love!
    --Louise Holder

    Author

    Louise Fraser Holder

    Louise Fraser Holder‘s ninety years were full. The daughter of a career army chaplain, her first eighteen years were spent traveling. She lived in China, the Philippines, Hawaii, and on numerous army posts around the United States. In 1939, Louise graduated from Duke University. The following year, she married Richard Holder. Most of their forty-year marriage was spent in Memphis, Tennessee. Both before and after Richard’s passing in 1980, Louise sought opportunities to serve in her church, her four children’s public schools, “Each One Teach One,” reading for the blind, and other “giving” pursuits. Throughout the last thirty years of her life, she combined her growing spiritual awareness with her love of wordplay, producing more than seven hundred short poems, as well as prose in the form of letters to her children. Apprentice Angels is the first installment of these writings to be published.

      Changeling

      Worm of dust with golden halo,

      Shabby dream of shining whole…

      Here a stumbling human creature

      Finds its glowing inner Soul.

            —Louise Fraser Holder

      The bite-sized wisdom in Louise Holder’s seemingly simple verses invites us to see ourselves and our earthly experience in a new way.

      Who among us would claim to be an angel, or even ‘on track’ to achieve angel-status in this millennium? After all, we envision angels as perfect beings, and we mere mortals are – to put it politely – a mess. Louise Holder’s Apprentice Angels offers a more hopeful view of our situation. Her poems suggest that on this earthly plane, we would-be angels are not supposed to be perfect. Rather we are works-in-progress, emerging souls who are transformed as we glimpse a more authentic dimension alive within ourselves.

      The tiniest inkling of this complete, authentic inner dimension sets our feet on the path to a different life. This force within — Source, God-consciousness, Holy Spirit, whatever we wish
