explorations of the heart, mind, body and soul. Each poem not only brings you closer to the man behind the words, but makes you reflect on your own past, present and future. With just over 40 poems, you can easily read through them in one sitting, then go back and spend time on the ones that stand out and resonate most with you and your personal adventure.</div></div>
