The Threads of Life

Book Cover & Preview Text
The energy was twisted
She was walking with the wicked
The sense in this arriving
Later than expected, much later
And the candy canes, the big parades
The hefty loans, the one-man shows
Are changing with the times
And the circus freaks, computer geeks
The ocean’s tide, the lullabies
Are shifting with the wind
They are squeezing out the sin
The newer vibes are brighter
He’s controlling the controller
The sense in this arriving
Just in time to save him, right on time
And the lonely words, all things absurd
The g-string thongs, the Tori songs
Are making sense for once
And the simple things, the way we sing
The better times, the different kinds
Are making their way back
All this makes up for what we lacked
Don’t be afraid
Don’t be ashamed
Don’t sample hate
Don’t live in vain
Be wiser
Be smarter
Think deeper
Think harder
It all comes down to this
Put down the angry fists
I’m wishing a new wish
Here comes the sense in this

About the Book
Have you ever
felt lost? Have you ever felt confused? Have you ever felt angry? Have you ever
felt used? I am sure that you have. Do you think of fate? Do you think of love?
Do you dream of a break? Do you wonder what's above? I am sure that you do. I could probably go on listing countless
things that we as human beings either think, feel and/or act upon. I call these "things"
threads. Each one of us is a spool of thread
and with each encounter, journey, burden, etc a piece of our thread unravels.
Some of us may have enough thread to last for generations, some only for a
short while; but we are all connected. When we're all sewn together we create a
beautiful tapestry which encompasses a wide variety of story. The Threads of
Life is my story. Take my hand and place yourself inside the story. Take from
it all that I have given and know that no matter how dark and difficult things
seem, there is always resolution in the end.
