This, my second collection of stories in Poetry, Prose and Ponderings is about life on the edge of my emotions, sometimes fearfully and sometimes fearlessly but always with a love of life and adventure, making sure to enjoy more than I fear in my effort to understand my own complicated story. I get asked frequently about the theme. My theme is my unquenchable thirst for exploring life while allowing my spontaneous spirit to live, and sometimes relive memories and recall encounters and stories that became an unforgettable part of me. I am open and available to all inspiration, nature, a painful experience, love affairs and almost love affairs, endurance, deep friendships, society as I see it, and the ultimate, the passing of loved ones, and of course, Covid. Hopefully, there's some mystery or hilarity to pique the interest of curious minds. Whatever form they take, I am inspired by my love of life first, and fully allowing it to unfold. Relax, read. I desire to make a connection, create a distraction, or self-recognition, some humor but most of all to speak my truth. Let's have a Spiritual encounter. Read my words, know my heart, and you may recognize our similarities. Come let our souls collide. "We Are One".
