The poems in this podcast are inspired by this chapter and verse in Matthew 5. We tend to ignore the shadow side and only focus on the positive and the good,  but that shadow side is a part of us too. The story of Cain and Able say as much. As "The Light of Death" shows us that rebirth is always happening.  Every day in this world gives us a chance to change, to see things different, to be reborn....

I spent time observing my outer and inner universes. Every poet does this on some level, which makes for great insight. If you want to do anything from...

In poetry, the symbol, metaphor, of the two paths is a popular one because I think the two paths are all about decision, which is one of the most important principles we have in our life. Why?

These three poems of "Days of Darkness," "Vanlife Comes," and "You must go a...
