About the Book

A collection of thoughts, poems and essays, written over the last forty years or more, they come together at last in this little book as a sort of intellectual and spiritual autobiography. They are humorous, speculative, philosophical, provocative: the record of a man’s personal odyssey of mind and heart. They may help you in your own search for love and/or truth. If they hinder it, you were probably due to fall on your face anyway.
