Finding Out

I AM

Like you

Living through dreams

Making deals with desire

Bullied by fears

Tethered to memory’s ghosts

Finding Out is a warm invitation to join me on a walk through the tangled pathways we all trek. Themes range from the pain of adolescent self-consciousness, to the security of friends, to the fire of romance, to our yearning to grasp the cosmos. The poetic images and metaphors explore—in both contemporary and classical verse forms—who are we? How can we deal with life’s complications and be happy, and what is this astonishing epic we call life?

Finding Out echoes my deepest fears and desires, and my greatest joys and hopes, inviting you to explore your own path toward happiness and enlightenment.

Several poems celebrate the art of writing itself: writing is a powerful technique to peel back the layers of conditioning smothering our true Selves. I hope they inspire you to polish your writing skills too.

The connecting thread through the poems is our shared longing

to Find Out of the Maze,

from youthful insecurities

to realizing

our little life

is just our latest dream

since

The Big Bang detonated,

The Universe exploded into Consciousness,

And the cosmic dream began
