A friend once described me as encompassing . The prefix en- means ‘within’. A compass is an instrument which provides direction. To sing is to express thoughts and feelings in rhythm and melodic phrases. My nature is to look within for direction and guidance. I often express myself in music and song. Nuggets is an elevating, uplifting, spiritually oriented collection of inspiring poems and short essays that I’ve written over many years. Organized loosely over an annual cycle, my poems and essays capture moments, feelings, experiences, and ideas. Starting with my first love - the beach and the ocean - Nuggets continues with a variety of topics including the seasons, food, gratitude, and death. The book concludes with Christmas, New Year, and winter poems, poems on topics such as health and healing, spring, gardening, love, music, song, the coronavirus, and the Connecticut River by moonlight. Throughout the book, I’ve included insights and perspectives from Maharishi Vedic Science and the practice of the Transcendental Meditation program. I dedicate Nuggets to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the foremost scientist of consciousness and Veda and Vedic literature in our time. I offer each poem, essay, and photo in a spirit of joy and thanksgiving to readers throughout the world.
