Brief Moment

Written over a span of 40 years these poems capture intimate feelings of the range of emotions we experience as we face life with fortitude, caring, and sometimes confusion. The topics range from the meaning of life and existence to love and hate, war and peace, beauty and ignorance. Science and critical thinking weave in and out of the web of topics and underpin much of the lessons and poetic conclusions expressed. Yet, the poems are a personal statement emerging from the normal experiences of living, loving and thinking. It is a commentary on the actions we humans take and the repercussion they have on those around us, as well as the far reaching effects of our society as we struggle to understand how to live in a not so perfect world. There are no answers, just suggestions and glimpses of possibilities, with lots of questions that frame our fragile environment both physical and emotional.
