    About this ebook

    I want to take you on a journey to the innermost soul of my being. This is a first book of a series dedicated to themes that are essential for those who are thirsty for life. We are who we are because our environment has changed and is molding a way of life. The purpose is not to forget from where we are created. The embrace of earth is love.

    Actually started as a mistake. The trials of living in Florida / California and experiencing a slowly dwindling environment through the years. A native son of two worlds that could only seek refuge of medicine through the written word. The quiet monsters of distractions embedded in a modern world. (they call it progress)You could say I'm an industrial hippie thrown into this world. Influences of passionate native American roots taught the love of nature on one-side. The other-side filled with analytic reasoning to develop answers to a rapidly overdeveloped world. I have found my blanket being the last of the counter culture generation. Also finding out that my BEAT heroes Kerouac, Ginsberg, Ferlinghetti, Burroughs, Carr, and Huncke helped us to find our voice in America are now once again called upon to find a BEAT world's voice.The realization to all cultures that the wings of our voice will fly again to regain the love of our earth. Only then will we love one another.

      Portrait Of An Island

      Jun 3, 2021

      AN ISLAND provides refuge for refugees. Their roofs, tablecloths, and bedsheets wave from the port’s breeze. Temporarily permanent, adjacent to the water, each tent kneels behind the mayor’s office and in front of a tenth-century castle. The locals p
