A Lifetime of Writing: An Anthology

What passes through the mind and emotions is sacred and must somehow be preserved. A thought not embodied in word is lost to time. We become what we express through our words; our words bear the mark of our being. Authentic writing is profoundly autobiographical.

Eugene Clemens, Professor of Religious Studies (1965-2000) at Elizabethtown College, describes himself as an eternal metaphor, sharing with several generations of students the mind's inquisitiveness. He notes that he is sustained by music, beauty, and a sense of the mystical, and these gifts became the basis for forty booklets of reflections which provide the core for this anthology.
