Excerpt from Love is Not Afraid of What it Finds in the Dark:

About this book: "Everything you see here first appeared in my personal journals. Some poems I wrote as young as 17 years old, and some I wrote last week. Much of the poetry was written as an answer from my soul to the questions of my temporal human mind.  You see, none of it was written my "me" in the strictest sense.  These words came through me and demanded to be expressed.

Earlier in my life I sought love as a remedy for abandonment, proof of worthiness.  I sought love for the high of it and for romance, not knowing what love really is. Later in life, love revealed its true nature to me. Love is the essence of life-stuff and world-stuff. The reason electrons move around atoms. It is why we are here, even if the being-here of "we" is essentially a dream of eternity. Why would eternity bother to dream of us? Because of love.

This book comes to you as an exercise of radical acceptance. It is the answer to the answer of my prayers.  It is perfect in its imperfection.  It holds the light of my mind.

I hope it empowers you to look at everything, and love it!"
