This book of poetry and essays is for common persons, not academics. It explores questions related to meaning, that is, questions of personal relevance. This book aims to draw you, sometimes gently, other times less so, into a journey with me. One I trust you will relate to at some points, that will help you to feel less alone, and inspire you to live out your own journey with courage and inspiration. My modus operandi in everything is to say something unexpected and also something worth thinking about.
