Life Poetry

It would be very easy to assume that a book titled “Life Through Stoned Eyes” would be centered around the marijuana-induced ruminations of a poetic pot-head. This, of course, would be a shallow assumption and one that not only misses the mark but completely shifts the mark. It would also signal a lack of appreciation for symbolism, allegory and the ingenuity of personification and metaphorical art. Immediately upon receiving “Life Through stoned eyes” for review and the honor of writing a forward for an author whose work impresses and motivates me, I began to seek out the metaphor ...

And moreover the underlying theme of the collection as a whole is quite clearly drawn.

"Tears go with laughter in this collection of memories, as pain lies next to joy, and courage wraps around fears. These contrasts live, holding the other’s hand, finding a balance as we walk, day by day, each in our own way. As I read the poems and stories in this book I found the extraordinary way in which a mother has put one foot in front of the other through her grieving and loss. In the courage she shows and shares so openly we find an avenue into our own hearts. The poems are a reminder of the strength we can find through our own pain and of the beauty to be found in simple things. ...

Musings and more written over the course of a year, month by month. What is it like to go through life as a poet, or to view every day things in a poetical way?

" "Ice doesn’t melt in the shade even when it gets warmer. " "Everyone is a winner! I got a winning flyer for a new car or $25K and another one in a different box where I get mail! Yay! I’m a winner!

FROM earliest childhood I have been endowed with the keenest love for life. Looking back on my boyhood days, I can remember nothing but one long delight in the healthy body which my parents transmitted to me, in the simple and free open-air life I was encouraged to live, and in the responsibility for looking after myself without apron-string rule. I am not responsible for this love for life. I love it just because it is natural to do so. Higher powers, whether mortal or immortal, are accountable, in my case, for a deep in-rooted joy in being alive — a joy which has grown with the passing ...

Every good gift and every perfect gif is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights. IT has, I think, been devised wisely and well that the services of to-day should stand, if possible, in some connection with the celebrations which will fill up the remainder of the week. You, who have sought that such a connection should exist, have thus declared many things. You have declared first, that you have no intention nor desire to separate the gift from the Giver—to glorify the one, and to forget or leave out of sight the other—to make much of man at the expense of Him who is the ...
