Dialogue: From Mind’s Heart to Yours

By J. K. Pascall

This book was born from a promise that I made at the end of my first book, Living Through 2016: Beyond Fiction. The philosophy and ideas shared there prepared us for a dialogue that I believe is not only necessary but nurturing for the individual seeker. Here I continue to reach out to the traveler on the path through a different vehicle. My need to express myself led me to this genre of poetry where I thoroughly enjoyed my expression knowing that I could reach persons in a way that I was longing to experience. The work is set up in three parts, How I see me, How I see you, and How I see us. It is a celebration of sight, feeling and knowing all wrapped up in one. May it mean many things for you at once but always nurture the seeker in you.

J. K. Pascall

The author is a middle-aged, Caribbean-born family man who, though exposed to many schools of thought, has found it difficult to reconcile seemingly opposing views. The author grew up in Trinidad and Tobago and has traveled through the Caribbean region and the United States, observing the way people live. After years of public service and studying sociology, a unique outlook has emerged. He outlines a journey and experience of awakening and sharing in this partial memoir. J. Pascall encourages community and compassion and a gentle self-critiquing system to heighten our experience. The author promotes self-reliance and self-confidence to arrest the flavor of our lives.

PROLOGUE

I must start by expressing gratitude to my loved ones, close family members and my own nuclear family who have responded to this new direction in my life, with an exponential expression of support and encouragement. It is important for me to finally embrace my potential and open myself to possibilities once feared. To my mentor and friend, I will always be grateful for you saving my life and sharing your life with me until I learned the value of building one for myself. For that act of kindness, you will always have my adoration and love. I would like to dedicate this book though to my grandmother who is still with me at eighty-four (84), her expression and joy is enough to keep any one going. My
