INTRODUCTION

Deep in the forest on a trail, far off the beaten path, where the silence is deafening, and the mysteries of life clarify; it is there that my mind roams free of the stress of civilized existence to flow with the wind through the trees; to connect to the earth atop a falling leaf, and to contemplate…

It is in these following pages that you will find a collection of poems that reflect such journeys I have taken.  Deeply personal journeys to share with you individually, yet for all to enjoy.

In these poems, I speak of LOVE and Loss, HAPPINESS and Pain, and the words pour straight from my HEART with the random purpose of…  Moving you.

Provoking you.

Helping you to open your HEARTS and minds to the HOPE and LOVE that is everywhere around us and within us.

Sometimes it takes a concerted effort to set aside our pressing concerns and listen to the JOY and LOVE that lies within our HEARTS.  Let’s make that effort, today, together.

Enjoy
