Sojourns…

About the Book

“Sojourns... " represents a personal look inside the heart, mind, and soul, of a fellow mortal. One who, like yourself wanders through this unpredictable mortality, seeking definition, self-identity, belonging, love, and purpose. “Sojourns…” even as the human experience, covers a vast array of emotions from lightheartedness to self-doubt, from shame to love, pride, fear, grief, and wonder. What are we without our emotions and experiences? “Sojourns…” invites the readers to ask the deeper questions of themselves; to find the measure of their humanity and the purpose of their existence. While it is not Frost, Goethe, or Shakespeare, “Sojourns…” is an intensely intimate look at what it is that makes us who we are. I have also included the works of my daughters as they seem to express the same sentiments only with much more clarity. If one heart is touched, one tear is shed, I am justified in my efforts.

About the Author

I am a quiet, private person (some have said “reclusive”!) I spent 31 years of my life working for a government entity in foreign relations and diplomatic fields. It was there that I developed a marked disdain for anything political. I am therefore apolitical. I have always believed in self-reliance, self-sufficiency and personal responsibility as well as a sense of integrity and moral responsibility to ones’ community, nation and the world as a whole. I maintain that there is no shortage of people willing to tell you their theories on everything from pea soup to philosophy. Finding someone who can listen however is nearly impossible. Listening may soon go the way of silence becoming another forgotten element in our modern world. If you want to make a difference learn to listen! If we hope to make a difference in life. That may be the most important thing one can do.
