This collection of poetry was written during the height of the Covid 19 pandemic. They are not necessarily about the pandemic itself, but often brought out by new feelings and inner sensations that had risen during this time of uncertainty, insecurity, and dread. This time period was before there was a vaccine and there was still a lot of guesswork in the medical community on how to treat patients with the Covid virus. Isolation and wearing facial masks became the prescription to stay healthy. None of us are quite who we once were, or rather who we thought we were. All of us received new insights and have a vision of new Pathways opening through the thickets of doubt. Pathways became the logical title of this book with a subtitle of A Journey Through Isolation. This is a part of Jaque Reed's continuing poetry journey, she is also the author of Gardens of the Heart

printed in 2019. Enjoy.
