The evocative prose and poetry of "Moments and More" artfully intertwines thematic essays on Art, Beauty, Magic, Philosophy, and Matters of the Heart with insightful poetry focused on the examination of personally, profound moments that shaped and re-directed the author's life perspective. These moments, first frozen in prose, poetically explode into sharp insight that penetrates both heart and mind. Both the author's prose and poetry speak to those who value intellectually and spiritually exploring that which defines each of us. It spotlights love lost and gained, dreams envisioned and realized, laughter found and tears wiped away. It laments the destructive power of abuse, yet it cheers the healing power of forgiveness. "Moments and More" gently asks the reader to consider cultural concepts that collectively define us, but, more significantly, it exemplifies personal philosophical and spiritual thinking that specifically speaks to examining and better understanding our individual selves. "Moments and More," a contemplative flight through the abstract realm of philosophical thought, utilizes the author's profound moments as touchstones to ground us. More deeply, though, the illuminated moments reveal one man's poignant discoveries on his personal path toward enlightenment, discoveries suggesting he has come far, but still has a ways to go.
