It is a collection of my deep secrets, pain, fear, wisdom, joy, happiness, my creative genius, my inspirations, it is a creative masterpiece of different themes and it is for everyone to read and enjoy and can appreciate its deep sentiments for humanity. The pearls among stones are the homeless, the broken hearted, the righteous one, spiritual, the doers, the revolutionist, poets, writers, the ones who need a voice, hope, need to be inspired, the ones who inspire. It is anyone who is willing to stand up for their beliefs in a positive way and who are willing to share their stories to whomever would listen. I speak to many people, many people have spoken to me, this book is their voice, and their way of expression, so my book is not mine alone it is for whoever made it into what it is. This book is also for my mother.
