Stories, poems and philosophy from a global wanderer's rather unusual life.
Book 1 of the "Wanderings and Sojourns" series.
As the name suggests the true stories, philosophies and poems contained between the covers relate to wanderings in many lands and over the major oceans of the planet.
Not just stories, they are discussions about unusual events or encounters. The stories are fascinating in their own right but the reader is also asked to consider lessons learned from them and put in the position of wondering what they would have felt had that been them living those experiences.
The poems too give reason and opportunity for reflection for they also relate to events that evoke thought on challenge the reader to go deeper into their own heart and mind.
Excerpt
Tavern Not Far From The Shore
Between the sea and coming ashore
In tidal zones of emotion,
Washed by ebbs of the cottage door
And floods of the open ocean,
Amphibious beings restlessly stand
In the lee of their wind-swept past,
Talking of days when the sea had command
And years they spent under the mast.
And some may be wandering seaward,
While others to land may be bound.
And some never know
of the way they should go
So will wash up wherever they’re found.
And some folk may never stop sailing,
While others may sail no more.
But all find their way
at the close of the day
To the tavern, not far from the shore.
