Easy to say a mission statement,

not so easy to accomplish perhaps.

 

All my life I’ve searched for an answer

and I’ve been vigilant trying to live

in a non-harming way.

 

If you wish to explore some of the thoughts,

experiences, and answers I’ve found,

I invite you to read my poetry.

It is a record and, I hope, an instruction manual

for living a valuable life, beneficial to all living beings

and useful in bringing happiness, even joy,

to you and others.
