Change can be tedious and challenging- but its do-able!
Mirrors Don’t Lie
When my eyes behold the intensity of your expression
I know exactly what it is I see
your heated energy & depth of Emotion
Is a mirror reflecting the other side of me
Once we could have been twins —Identical!
Our thoughts, Behaviors - State of Mind
Our personalities were remarkably similar
That side of me... long ago left behind
Like you... I was Never able to grasp
the Good in me - - I did see!
I seized only that which seemed bad
But that’s History~ cuz now I’m free
Mirrors are incredibly detailed & scary
echoing reflections of Everything they see
painstakingly honest -- provoking instiable guilt
if you dont trust your eyes ~ Just Ask Me!
But don’t cling to fear & hopelessness
by saying you’ll never change & good night
don’t be persuaded by pessimistic spectators
who have never fought this fight!
For if in the mirror image of your eyes
I clearly see the Old Me!
Look deep into mine & see yourself
Identify with the new you... in me... You see!

This collection of poetry addresses the nature of time, reflections on the natural world, the difficulty of loss,
contemporary social issues and gratitude for life.
Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
The songs and art in this book are about our collective emergence after the pandemic and trauma of the last few years - comprised of 5 collections: World as Refuge, Where We Live, In Our Hands, Rhythms of Change and What We See & Sow.
