Here's what readers are saying:

"...your words skip so lightly through my mind that the imprint they leave brings pictures my heart has been yearning to see/hear.

"Through the words of your poetry you have invited me into a world of "wordless" wisdom. You have a gift of perceiving the fine fabric of life's essence and bringing it out in mundane language of everyday.

"This movement brings the everyday close to heavenly realms."

E.I, Penticton, B.C.

"Betsy's poems enliven silence and inner peace. Each time I've picked up her book and read a few poems, I set it down feeling refreshed, just as if I've spent time away in a beautiful tropical paradise. Thank you for sharing with us."

M.M., Austin, TX

"Open Lotus is a beautiful oasis combining Betsy Randel's poetry and paintings.

"Betsy Randel has the ability to find peace in the midst of turmoil and create pictures painted with words. Her poetry flows with the rhythms of life. Her work is filled with emotions that envelope with love and peace, longing and joy.

"Betsy finds companionship in the beauty around her and expresses it with a compassion that makes one search and question life's essence."

Anita Nairne, Intuitive Art Instructor, Vancouver, B.C.

"Betsy Randel is the Open Lotus. Her passion for life, love, and enlightenment is evident throughout her poetry and paintings. Her poems chart the heart of a seeker on her personal journey towards self-realization. Highlighting that bumpy lonely road are glimpses of the eternal Silence that underlies and permeates all of life - our own inner Self.

"Innocently open to her art and you will find healing here, and a reconnection with who you truly are."

Kenny Chawkin, Media Relations Officer and fellow poet, Fairfield, IA

Betsy Randel Releases New Poetry Book Celebrating Love

Former Fairfielder Betsy Randel has recently published a lush and insightful collection of poems and artwork entitled Open Lotus: Thoughts on Love.

Betsy's poems explore and celebrate love -- the love of nature, love in relationships, and ultimately, the love of the Divine. Image-rich and inquisitive, Open Lotus weaves parallels between the inner and outer worlds, fusing them together in often thought-provoking verse. An example is this haiku:

ааааааааа Overgrown grasses
ааааааааа cover the Buddha statue
ааааааааа as mind hides the Self.

Says Anita Nairne, an art instructor in Vancouver, B.C., "Betsy finds companionship in the beauty around her and expresses it with a compassion that makes one search and question life's essence."

A visual artist as well, Betsy has been exploring watercolors, acrylics, and photography for the past ten years. Open Lotus is peppered with her colorful creations, inspired by the rich flora of the Hawaiian Islands, Bali, and the coastal islands of British Columbia.
