    About this ebook

    O-M-G, Om-inspired poetry? You heard right! Or maybe you didn’t hear

    Written while in an altered state, this is as close to ‘divine inspiration’ as you can get without getting ‘Out of This World’ (gee, why does that sound somehow familiar?). Mantras just became a whole lot more useful!

    Here’s hoping this pocket-sized poetry book finds its way into its your permanent (or impermanent) collection – and that Buddhists find a way to ‘make it’ in the West. There’s only one Dalai Lama, but many ignorant Westerners.

    Don’t spend hours contemplating the word ‘Om’, spend hours contemplating inspiration and insight from the word Om! Your mileage may vary - sorry, no refunds.

      Life is a series of stories. It really is as simple as that. As social human beings, most of us are pretty adept at telling them, too. So how is it that we often forget all those years of training we’ve had when we sit down to write a short story or
