Universal Awareness: Poems of Reality

I’ve worn many hats over the past 66 years - ordained minister, counselor, business owner, criminal justice professional, medical researcher, spouse, father, grandfather and author. In each of these contexts, I’ve pondered the big questions: Where did we come from? Why are we here? What happens after we die? After processing more information than I can remember, and having countless conversations with numerous people from around the world and from many backgrounds, I have reached some conclusions. The following poems reflect what I believe to be true regarding the universe we live in and the life we experience. We know so little, but we know far more than we once did. I trust the verses that follow will open your mind, suggest some new answers and give you hope regarding the future.Enjoy!
