For me, it all started in college while living under a giant redwood tree in Northern California, back when I was young, I had nothing, and thought I knew everything. As I've grown older and a little wiser, I often ponder those simpler carefree days when I wondered what I would do with the rest of my life. Writing hundreds of poems through the years has helped me to document a private universe of thoughts and experiences, some that I treasure and others that I would never want to live out again. But, they're here in this 50 years long collection of me just trying to figure what this crazy life is all about.
