I now devote my retirement to my preoccupations offishing and puttering around my modest home,,along with writtingsongs and poems which I have done for 35 plus years, as a singularvocation.

Philosophy and Purpose

I feel that in all of us as spirited beings, we each do hold potentialfor compassion some more than others perhaps but still inherant tous all,,,I write poetry to convey those instincts to those that are lessaware but require reminders that they too are beings of empathy.

I trust that my works will offer some a peace of mind and awarenessso needed in this fast paced all too short existance we all share andto some degree will offer solice in reading words that instill hopefor a better tomorrow, gleened from living, this is my short legacy iwish to leave.
