The Shining Path

One summers afternoon, after reading some old personal notebooks and journals of mine from the 1960s and 70s, I found myself perplexed and astonished at the course my life has in fact taken. So I decided to write some poems.

Together they form The Shining Path: a poetic narrative winding its autobiographical way across key locations on my lifes time line. My bafflement dispersed as three guiding voices began to speak for themselves from the depths of the path:

The voice of the poet narrating and reflecting
The voice of the pilgrim trekking towards eternitys sunrise
The voice of the warrior of light clarifying and guarding the way
