Many of the difficulties we face in life are within ourselves. It is the constant war within that exhausts so many people. If we are to make our way to higher ground, we must come to terms with the many weaknesses of the human condition. Arrogance, that sense of superiority, greed, and envy are just a few. We must reach out beyond these things to the soul of the being if we are to have any hope of finding who we are. If we make contact, we will find a spiritual space where we can thrive, where we can expand our horizons, come to terms with, except that we are just one part of nature journeying through the greater scheme of things. To accept is to be at one. It is not easy, in many ways, we are groping in the dark, not sure what we want, not sure that we want to find it. This is where humanity is stationed. For what it is worth, I believe we are part of something greater. Something beyond our human comprehension. That is what this collection of poetry is about. Reaching out to that something; that something other.
