Wakes of Joy

Diana Button

Diana Button is a poet and author whose work delves beneath the surface of what it means to be human. With a touch that is at once playful and profound, childlike and wise, her writing invites readers to say yes to life and discover the depth of their own unique nature. At the heart of her work lies the fundamental question: Who am I?

She is the author of "From Pen (elope) with Love xxx" (2020), a collection of poetry and prose, and "Marrying It All", a novel (2003). Her poetry has also been featured in the anthologies "Writing from a Small Country" and "D'Waasser am Mond" (2004)

Residing in Germany with her husband of thirty-five years, Diana draws inspiration from the natural world, the voices of Rumi, Hafiz, and Kahlil Gibran, and the teachings of Gangaji and Papaji - wisdom passed down through the lineage of awakening and self-inquiry from Ramana Maharshi.

Rooted in silence, these teachings call her to rest in the unbroken stillness of being, reminding her to release striving, shed illusions, and uncover joy - not as an experience, but as her - as our - true essence and birthright.
