Book Cover & Preview Text
The space that I see as empty is full, an Ocean of Life appearing from nowhere and returning instantly back there. Alive and pulsing with unexpressed potential, the Cosmos unfolds itself before our amazed eyes. The world is a web of life, here dense, there sparse, all fueled by a Mystery so profound and magnificent that the stars roar in approval.

About the Book
Somehow we have become disconnected from the infinite Ocean of Life that is our Source and our support in life. Our view of reality has, over the last four centuries, narrowed to the point where the core of the Cosmos—Being Itself—has been excluded. As a result, our lives are full of despair, desolation and fear. Most people do not realize what is wrong. Now, however, the results of having lost Being in our worldview have become so unpleasant that many of us are reaching out toward Invisible Livingness, struggling to try to recapture the ground of our lives. The 77 poems in this little book record this struggle. They document some of the many facets of the struggle, some successes and some failures, in the effort to grow a new consciousness that includes awareness of Majesty. We are all the Cosmos turning back to look at its handiwork, and as we evolve our consciousness that will become ever more clear to us.
