    About this ebook

    I can't remember the beautiful words that meter my tempo, so each day I must poetize life, for only in musical expression do I live.

    I'm never bored in nature but in human company, without conversation in some depth, I'm lost.

    I am without destination. My path is the warm face that gives me direction. My days are spent rambling on any road for That, for I am a pickpocket. In the herd of humanity, in the splash of people at the ball park, in the funneled troop of patriot workers en route to their jobs, in the turnstiles of the rapid transit ~ there amid the somnolence of beach ones, I siphon the unattended spirit. In vacant glances, I pillage from the nectar of every man.

    S. Scott

    S. Scott, a native of Marblehead, Massachusetts, shares her Dylan Thomas vision of New England and love of Eastern Spiritual Thought (EST) in this book of poems. Colorful of Romantic thought: early partriot heroism, seascapes and hollyhock she combines with her love of simplicity, sincerity and satori. The author, who has experienced eclectic living, was once employed by Disneyland as a magician in Merlin's Magic Shop, and has also been a kindergarten and Special Education teacher. She is the founder of the Quaint Corner Children's Museum in Altoona, Pennsylvania, and currently holds a dual residence in Marblehead, Massachusetts and Alameda, California. "My mind is a great joy to me. It seems everyone can find a measure of personal wisdom if patient and aware long enough. In reverie first we come to our image of the epic hero; in work and deed can we come to that nobility." The author has also published a trilogy of novelettes, Maggoty, and five books of poetry, From Sage to Song, Water Table, Voyage From a Lady Slipper, I Am a Superfluous Woman, and Daybreak, all of which are available on major internet bookseller sites.
