I have forever longed for LOVE, the greatest power of all, to break the strangling chains of untruths that have bound and continue to bind, trap, and imprison so many of our human family. Whether restrictions upon human freedom are based upon race, gender, religion, ethnicity, and more, freedom denied to anyone, shatters the unity of our human family and diminishes our potential to be creatures of limitless and resplendent beauty.

I passionately seek to spread the message that we are in truth one human family, that grew from one human being, much like one seed grows to become a plant or tree and then a forest of splendour. Poetry is a perfect vehicle for expressing the inalienable right for freedom for all. As the verbal language of the soul, it is the unfettered, unbridled voice of spirit, releasing and permitting itself to speak with candour and sheer abandon.
