The Poet's Quill: Musings of Mind and Spirit

Description: The poets quest is one of wide magnitude. He or she must explore the untapped regions of mind and spirit and then proceed to paint a picture in words of that strange and mysterious landscape. The book before you is such a picture depicting a new yet ancient province of the soul. By middle age it starts to become obvious to most of us that we operate with a split mind; the lesser mind that focuses on the acquisition and defense of things and the higher mind that impels us to a more unified reality. With age and experience the acquisition of wealth status and sophistication start to pale in comparison to the more etheric goals of peace freedom and union with our Creator. As we start to notice a shorter road ahead than behind we seek a more meaningful existence. We intensify our search for union with our earthly brothers and our heavenly Father. In effect we require a reality based on our need to be free whole and eternal. By now we are far too skeptical to accept wishful thinking as our truth yet still yearn for an intellectual and spiritual certainty that we can believe in simply because the case for it is far too compelling to ignore. After several decades of just such a search I discovered a path that at long last gave me confidence in the truth of a divine Mind and Spirit. That path led me to a place that my soul knew and honored as divine. From that connection and in that place this book was born. About the Contributor(s): J.
