A journey of courage to forge a new path onward. I wish to contribute to the search for a new way forward in times of need, to offer strength and to express feelings of hope through poetic conversation. The writing and conversation throughout the book are combined to reach the reader in my own personal way of discovering so much. I start in a state of inner turmoil in the first chapter. I search for answers everywhere, and begin to find a new direction that leads to a better future. Through this emotional journey, I progress and create a new world for myself. Each chapter reveals emotion as I approach my own re-emergence, layered with a close-knit relationship with my father, and the realization of his special qualities, his genius and wisdom, over time. Our lives, at times, are difficult. Within us, internal challenges might seem impossible to overcome. Something has changed for the worse, giving a sense that this circumstance has permanently attached itself to our existence. We are overwhelmed and yearn that the beauty of life will appear. The life of each individual, organization and nation has its own unique unforeseeable events, obstacles, misfortunes, and upsets. I see a part of my experience as a universal message about our human spirit and about the way forward. Deep within us, we must rationalize that we are not trapped forever, and that any inner conflict we struggle with can be overcome. When we decide to conquer the conflicts, we approach the realization that it is our own choice that will determine the direction and decision for the future. As we move forward we live in a new way, through each experience - we encounter so many existing friends who are selfless, open, and willing to give freely. They are all there, waiting to share with us. Our true self emerges. We find that it was our own voice that we heard, that provided the guidance and direction. My hope is to connect with each reader through the art of self-expression.
