"Every page of Ken Harbert's poetry carries a gentle and lyrical surprise. In these meditations on the nature of life, love, and time, we have the privilege of joining another person heart-to-heart and soul-to-soul. We travel with Dr. Harbert on the big, wild, unpredictable human journey with all its derailments and sidetracks as well as its most wonderful destinations and unforgettable moments. These poems ask the most basic questions about time and love as they muse on the unknowable mysteries that drive us all. And in the end we have what Harbert terms "the absolution of time and space." Life, Love and the Meditation Stone is one man's journey toward meaning and understanding--and an appreciation of what makes us truly human." -- Richard Currey, author of Lost Highway and Fatal Light
