Asserting that the sacred lives in what is ordinary and the Divine is found amongst the green of nature, the poems within Ruminations at Twilight bring a message of appreciation for the worth of what surrounds us. Relevant, insightful, candid and revealing, these verses give a unique perspective on the age-old questions. The story told takes place on an intimate scale yet at the same time a world-wide scale; for within this story of one individual's realization and redemption we are told that of all humanity's.

In Seasons of Contemplation, Browning offers the reader humble yet impacting meditations on a mosaic of topics, including: religion, connection, mindfulness, ecology, the spiritual journey, the sources of prejudice, and the perils of modern culture. The ruminations gathered within these pages provide simple insights that help to bring sense to the chaos and hustle of our daily life.  Direct and unpretentious, Browning reminds us that "Becoming aware of the dearness in what might otherwise be regarded as mundane is the ultimate form of insight."

"A laconic, beautiful, and deeply insightful account about coping with loss." -Kirkus Reviews As featured in the TEDx Talk "Writing on Life" by Leslie Browning | In this career-defining work, Browning explores the breaking point every mind has after finding her own limit during a gauntlet of traumatic events. Pulled out of this blast-crater moment in her life by a friend, she is brought away from the insanity and deep into the snowy Sangre de Cristo Mountains where, standing in front of a herd of wild buffalo, she comes face to face with the terms we all must come to surrounding the loss we face in this life. Offering no answers and seeking no pity, Browning lays herself bare in this radically authentic offering. She carries restricted subjects such as miscarriage, mental illness, and suicide out of the silence by offering her own private journey as an example of the power of transcendence.
