Welcome to the figurative world of poetry where nothing is 'real,' but everything matters.

Those who refuse to look at or give expression to the dark side of life are in denial-fear preventing passage through the door of growth, truth and, ultimately, wisdom.

Love is the great truth we all know in our hearts and must eventually recognize.

War, hatred, and violence all spring from one infernal idea: that one person, race, creed, or culture is better than another.

Over the course of the millennia, all these ancestors in your tree, generation upon generation, have come down to this moment in time-to give birth to you. There has never been, nor will ever be, another like you. You have been given a tremendous responsibility. You carry the hopes and dreams of all those who have gone before. Hopes and dreams for a better world. What will you do with your time on this Earth? How will you contribute to the ongoing story of humankind?

History remembers only the celebrated, genealogy remembers them all.

The future is won or lost in the war of ideas.
