The purpose of this book of poetry is to encourage reflection on manas challenges in life. This focus centers on a general perspective as well as a personal one. The title, A Step in Time, highlights the fact that time changes things, and that we must keep in step to the adjustments this brings. From the general perspective, changes in life involve accomplishments in technological achievements; whereas, change on a personal level highlights triumphs and failures that are common to the human experience. Therefore, by evaluating these two perspectives, a better appreciation can be made for the changes that are possible and those that are desirable. These life reflections will serve to stimulate the human craving for intellectual pursuits and a quest to express ideas in oneas own personal, artistic way.
