“In "M.ind O.ver M.atter: The Awakening" X. Healing through poetry and prose lets us glimpse into his life and thoughts as he explores faith, love, ethnicity and his awareness of his very existence. With deep perception he gives us new insight into our uniqueness in " You Are Beautiful"; not appreciating our worth by society's standards but seeing ourselves through the eyes of the God who formed us, "perfectly able to become whatever or whomever we choose". In "Loss" he sees "the loss of someone, a personal item or memory" as an experience that can't be changed, focusing on the positive not the negative, finding a sense of peace in his understanding. In his poetry "I Am Love" resonates like the "Song of Solomon" with passionate feeling as the author speaks to the profound love he feels for the "body, mind and spirit" of the person he adores. In "I Am Free" he speaks to his sense of individuality, his decisions and choices; not conforming to society's criteria. The poems and prose are optimistic and honest, a treasure trove of wisdom that makes you think and evaluate your approach to love, life, and faith. Although short in length it is a book that has to be read several times to grasp his keen insight. I find myself still meditating on his thoughts about his interaction with the world and his awareness of people around him.”
