The Cornerstone

The poetry included in this book was written over a period of years, and started 'life' as part of letters written to a friend. Each of us, individual though we may be, has very similar experiences throughout life. This writing is an attempt to put into words a description of man's journey in this earth plane. Also, there are some experiences encountered while working with people; soul touching scenes I have witnessed and participated in. All the words are an attempt to capture the Oneness as seen through personal traits of people, and to relay what I have been given through the Spirit.
