Ms. Morrell's memoir examines one of Life's most significant, mindboggling questions-Why. Through her poems, essays and stories, she shares insights from her self-reflective, "big picture" scrutiny of her life's experiences. Following Socrates' advice to "know thyself," she took deep dives into the layers of her psyche and probed into the 'whys' behind those layers, all of which allowed her to "...explain my thought processes, expose my emotional methodology and validate my spiritual progression." Susan reveals her most heartfelt, heartbreaking and heartwarming memories, discloses her vulnerabilities and acknowledges her strengths, all the while encouraging and challenging her readers to make those same deep dives to learn about themselves. "Simply put, the whys have made me wise. I've learned to make better choices, to trust my Inner Voice, to let go of outdated ways of thinking and to change my past by seeing it from a new perspective. The knowledge I've accumulated over the years has magically transformed into wisdom. The student in me relishes the lessons I've learned-the teacher in me delights in passing on those lessons to my readers."
"Eternal Moment on a Calm Palm Sunday Morning" is a blank verse narrative poem of nearly 500 lines. Blank verse is a type of poetic meter, unrhymed iambic pentameter, each line containing five iambic feet. The iambic foot is one of an unaccented syllable followed by an accented syllable. Blank verse is found in the works of Shakespeare, Milton, and other writers.The Passion of Christ provides the poem's argument. The speaker of the poem is one who attends a Palm Sunday service, where events of the Passion, as recorded in St. Matthew's Gospel, are dramatized in nave of the church, with clergy and congregants participating in the liturgy for the service.While listening to the Palm Sunday liturgy, the speaker finds himself carried--in visions, dreams, and imagination--into the past, caught up in moments of this crucial week as they transpire. Not merely a narrator or passive observer, he becomes an actor, along with the others standing in the nave, in those awful hours which brought the Savior to His death.The speaker, not a reverential and pious actor in the drama, instead expresses anger and rage toward Christ, not fully certain at first why this anger is there, and almost gleefully surrendering himself to his hostility. But he is one with a divided mind and, reflecting on his thoughts and actions, he begins to question why he despises this one who is called the Savior. As events of the poem unfold, he may find the answer.
