These poems are
tracks marking the
happy meandering path
of ongoing discovery ...

    My personal goal for this book is to express myself with absolute authenticity. I wanted to see
    and record my world, my relationships, and myself absolutely authentically. Frankly, I didn’t get
    completely there with this book, but I’m getting closer. I hope you will see in these a simple
    reality of life that will show me as a kindred spirit or at least a truthful observer of the common
    lives that we all lead.
