Racing Up the Light Storm (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781716738418)

This volume includes my created mass of work cast into the stone of the written page which is a translation of my mind's assessment of it's experience into words you may understand; and takes the reader into language structure you may sometimes experience as poetical. I may have combined all these works together in this form so that I could access them easily in my ongoing battle to make exquisite sense out of the universe of complexity that I have experienced throughout my life. In this sense they are the objects of my creation that light my path through the otherwise hidden, angst filled, chaotic experiences of my life. I express these words today as if I understand with excessive hubris, what my life and experience has been all about. In fact, I have little knowledge, and these words are the fantastical story I have created to light my way from this remembered past into an uncertain future. Because we share a common humanity that desires to reach out to others, and because you are willing to consider this volume; you must have some desire to peruse some of this forest of words. I do not promise you enlightenment. I do promise you ambivalent feelings and some indirect arrows towards possible understandings you may think you can achieve. I say this, for that is my experience when I reread these words. Perhaps, it is that we humans think we can form a knowledge base and understanding from the chaotic experience we all undergo. Ultimately all these words are but the recordings of the emanations from the mouth of the Oracle at Delphi as she sits in a cavern that has an entry sign warning "KNOW THYSELF". This also reminds me of the sign installed on the wall behind my grade school teacher's desk, imperiously commanding me to "THINK". Somehow I hope the cloud of words emblazoned in this text may have some value for you, and may show that we have shared interests and feelings that are so, so difficult to express.
