Entheos: God Within

Entheos, God within is a collection of personal reflections for the introspective person inquiring about the great questions of life, our purpose, the meaning of life, the universe, existence and other concepts that ultimately cause the reader to look within for the answers. The premise is that we seek the presence of God everywhere but within. The messages are delivered in poems, short stories and narratives about the writings.

The Author writes about his personal experiences while in a federal prison where he served a two year sentence. While not making that experience the defining event in his life, it serves as a platform for many of the personal reflections and poems including I Fagio (I Fly!); Memento Mori (Remember, we all must die); Veritas (Truth) and Enclave , an account of his approaching release from prison. Other writings reflect on his relationship with his father and his thoughts upon his death (Gathaspa) and spiritually listening to a woman he saw on a bus in Seattle, (Seattle Woman).

A Foreward by renowned artist, Albert Handell and illustrations by accomplished artist Jeanine Christman Handell punctuate this wonderful work.

A challenging body of work, it may require multiple readings and study.

The author is a native New Mexican whose Spanish ancestors arrived in La Tierra Adentro de la Nueva Mexico , (The Land of the Interior of the New Mexico) in the early 1600’s. He has an eclectic background which includes business, mentoring youth (including many in prison), instruction in a Lyceum format and authorship.
