smiling stories of triumph

About the Book

This collection of poetry deals primarily with a sense of ‘positive space’ in our lives, and how we come to re-acquaint ourselves with the ‘here and the now’, despite the clear challenges and the obstacles behind us and the unforeseen ones ahead of us. The poems try to refl ect on the inner potential of every human being – the potential to re-prioritise, to re-focus and to re-new, so as to deepen and to know our creative and most dedicated side. The author draws from personal experience, from various Biblical sources and from the writings of thirteenth century Christian mystic, Meister Eckhart, to convey his appreciation and understanding of the German term leere, and its relevance to people of all ages and backgrounds today.
