Carolyn’S Corner: You Are the Summation of Your Experiences

By Carolyn C. VanHinkle

This is a book of poems written in four sections. The first section is a short story called A One Night Stand, which is about a woman who falls in love with the wrong man. The second is called Love Letters, which is just that, letters written to her love. The third section is called
Inspiration Corner, a collection of poems designed to inspire. The fourth and last section of the book is called Something to Ponder On. These are poems written with the thought to have the reader think about what it was he or she has just read.

Carolyn C. VanHinkle

I’m a thinker, a seeker, a visionary, a perceiver and receiver, an optimist, a romantic, a lover of the elements, and a convinced believer in the Creator. As a thinker, one of the things that fascinate me the most is the limitless ability of the mind.

Autobiography

I’m a thinker, a seeker, a visionary, a perceiver and receiver, an optimist, a romantic, a lover of the elements and a convinced believer in the CREATOR. As a thinker, one of the things that fascinates me the most is the limitless ability of the mind.

OBSERVATION

It remembers, creates, and re-creates. The effect of its ability is so that the senses are stimulated to the point of actually being able to smell, taste, see, and even feel the event.

What is it, you might ask?

Well it’s the MIND. That mental activity, it’s the key to it all.

Think about it! It feeds every aspect of our anatomical being, the senses that stimulates that activity is directly in contact with the nervous system, which is fueled by our adrenaline levels and that level determines the type of response or reaction needed for any given situation for any given reason.

We are talking quicksilver here, faster than sound or light, the automatic, spontaneous reaction that is involved in the thought process.

I find that when my senses are stimulated to the extreme positive or the extreme negative, my creative thought process becomes vividly active. At which point I’m moved to writing and self-evaluating.

What about you? What do you do? Think about it.

This book is dedicated to JB.

I cannot speak about love without speaking about the origin of that love, that which has made this current state of being possible. GOD blessed me with the ability and He restored the desire.

I love you, Da Amos, A hurum gi nanya JB.

I would also like to dedicate this book to all of you who have ever felt as I have.

Remember your now is all that you will ever have. Use it wisely and never sell yourself short.

And above all keep GOD first in your life.

Call on HIM and wait for HIM to guide you in every aspect of your life.

A BLOOM IN TIME

A bloom in time is who I am

The Black Rose that grows by the hour

Showered with the gifts of experience

A bloom in time is who I am

Gathering wisdom as I grow

Helping to show the way by what I
