One of the key messages of this book is that we have the capacity to love many possible partners. As our choices become more well-defined, sophisticated, one of the critical choice is the choice of whom to love. The journey from romance to love to a new concept termed 'resonance' is the evolution of the modern person. This book is a poetic journey, an examination of what drives that option to choose a partner. Arriving at a journey where we accept the longing for the other, accepting our innate capacity to be loving and finally owning that 'whom we choose to love defines us' are the message of this modern concept of evolved love. A tour de force into lust, longing, the nature of love and finally an expansive heart where we arrive at self-acceptance, self-love and from this evolution we select a partner that resonance with our essence.

Review Summary: Arriving at the Journey
Review: In this beautiful book of verse, the poet takes us on a journey through romance, love for another, and finally self love. With a compassionate pen, she shows us a world full of yearning, intrigue, and a deepening consciousness. She allows us the opportunity to experience, through her words, desire, romantic love, and intimacy. To read this book alone gives one the opportunity for self discovery. To read this with a partner gives both people the opportunity for mutual discovery of one another. It also lays the foundation for a more complete level of understanding and responding to each other's desires. I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking to intesify their relationship with another as well as with themselves.

Review Summary: Fabulously Rich and Descriptive Poetry
Review: "From Romance to Love to Resonance" is rich with descriptive imagery cataloging the stages of love from infatuation to passion to, finally, true togetherness. I could almost consume these verses as sustenance, they have me so alight and flushed. Suriel has proven herself a muse of all things passionate and, dare I say, lusty, without being ribald. I can't wait to see more from this woman.

Review Summary: Evolving at the speed of love...
Review: Having married and divorced in the '70s, Peter McWilliams was the poet I turned to for insights into the human heart. Now Dilia Suriel has come along with a book for the 21st century, a book that, without beating you over the head, sets out in poetry and beautiful photographs the stages of a conscious relationship. Almost everyone recognizes the "romance" phase -- idealizing our partner, being concerned about how they see and respond to us, wanting to make the best impression possible, fantasizing about a possible future together. Oh yeah, and hot sex. If we manage to weather that stage, we come to "love," where we usually discover a quieter, more comfortable way of appreciating and being together with our beloved. More rarely, a couple moves into the space of "resonance," where their love for each other serves to raise and expand their consciousness into a place of oneness, of spiritual union with the whole world. This inspiring book of poetry can be opened to any page for a snapshot in time, or it can be read cover to cover to reveal the chronology of an evolving relationship. Don't just buy one, buy several. You'll keep thinking of people you want to give them to -- as wedding or anniversary gifts, or just because... Make sure to read it with someone you love.
