The Sweet Spot is a journey beyond survival and thrivance, a place of being, of calm, of assurance, trust, and balance. Pasipanodya’s poetry manifests into a wave of actions, observations, dreams, premonitions, and one-line capsules. Each measure of verse acts as a sensual invitation to find one's center after swinging from one side of the pendulum to the other. Welcome to the sweet spot.
