This book began ... as a collection of poems and tributes, shared with friends and family, that I finally had the courage to complete. I tend to be garrulous in person, but brief in writing. Hence, this is a small book of the biggest ideas I've had -- at least big enough to make note of them in verse. These pieces do not rhyme. My goal is the expression of a pure and often fleeting thought; one that touches the heart and reverberates truth in some form. The book can be read in any sequence: OUTSIDE... Love, commitment and romance INSIDE... Personal enlightenment and challenge AROUND... Time and holidays ABOVE... Tributes and memorials BEYOND... Spiritual and human development May you find here an insight that echoes along your pathway. ...And let me know if you run across my moonglasses! Kevin Gardner art55gardner@aol.com
