More for You, ..., in Volume Two, ..., of Poetic Reflections and Songs of an Awakening Hu-man, along with their Prose Inspirational Backgrounds, offering Reading Pleasure, Food For Thought, and Space for the Reader's Own Reflections. Spark Your Own Creative Bent, By Sharing the Way The Poet's Life Went! "This is a Poetry book. It is not a scientific dissertation. Poets want to provoke, educate, awaken, feel, think, inspire, and reflect, so that their personal awakenings will help to encourage a universal awakening. ..., in the hope that we will all grow together into the awesome Promises and Possibilities that We ARE!""We live in an exciting kaleidoscopic age of discovery (both personal and collective) and technological advancement, and the pruning of those two branches of our life's tree will determine the quality of the fruit that we bear. It has been my experience, and my observation, that, as wonderful as the technological world is, it may be costing us our Hu-man-ness!" The Reader is encouraged to "Come apart before you come apart", because we Hu-mans have a basic need to pause, reflect, and connect to our real "Home" center. The Poet encourages us to give ourselves time to awaken to our own creative possibilities. Since creativity is contagious, The Poet shares thoughts, and poems, and songs in the hope that these moments together will prime the pump of the Reader's own innate Creative Genius! As The Poet states, "We really need each other, and the encouragement that our associations bring. So, as you read the everyday life's experiences that are shared, and your imagination begins to take flight, you can immediately use the space that has been provided in this book at the end of every "Reflection" to record your own "Reflections" and ideas, and creative musings. Everyone has a piece of this life's puzzle, and we need them all, YOURS AND MINE. The picture will not be complete until we have all contributed our part. Together we can fill our world with the order and beauty that we are all craving.
