There are many books that promise to tell us how to find love. This book is different. It won't tell you what strategies to use. It is dedicated to celebrating love with you - as a meditative journey of self-discovery and inspiration on the path towards an abundant experience of love.

In this book you will find 50 short poems, each a poetic transmission of 50 faces of love. The poems are connected to one another to build a story.

The book was written during a six-month sailing trip in the Mediterranean - Italy, Croatia, Greece. The text can also be understood as a poetic reflection of aspects of this amazing journey and adventure.

The pictures you will find with some of the poems illustrate certain shades of love from an additional angle and are intended to offer you a further, non-verbal window into love in its many dimensions. We express our love in endless ways - this is what makes humans so beautiful.

The 50 shades presented here are available to you to nourish your heart and soul and to encourage you to continue your own journey of love with courage and delight.

You can read the poems cover-to-cover or take a random verse, following your own intuition and pace; either way will lead you to a deeper understanding of love.

The proceeds from the sale of the book will go to the Blue World Institute in Losinj (Croatia) for the protection of dolphins and the marine ecosystem in the Adriatic Sea.
