Also available in a full-color version. Nerve endings record our thoughts in books like this. Poetry lives on after we turn to stone with epitaphs bestowing our wonders. Grateful I live, reached 61 years this year, working, healthy, sober, fanciful, and deliciously enjoying the journey. Perhaps this is the vacation we planned before we were born, or metaphysical experience we could have no other way, wondering why we are here and what we are supposed to do when the whole point is to experience it to its fullest while trying to live with integrity. Suddenly I find myself exploring the mysteries of life and meditation, that wonderful mindset designed to rejuvenate the soul. Poetry offers such fine glimpses into mysteries, possibilities, room for error when other disciplines are seeking to machine tool everything. Verse frees us from the drudgery and complications of reality. I cannot discipline my brain to write novels. My mind spews out short bursts in poems and paintings, as in life's tasks. Making peace with the way we are is crucial - not the way we'd like to be, or the way other's demand. Let loose, spend some time with me in an easy chair, on a park bench, or enjoy reading in bed. Interesting how the mind sees pictures when reading words. Maybe my paintings will be your pictures. Maybe you'll have your own. Let's delve into some of the mysteries of life, meditating with eyes open, staring into spaces between the words, letting go of the burdens for a while.
