Here are provocative poems which invite the reader to ponder deep questions and to take a fresh look at some common perceptions. Time that is "real, however relative" is in balance with time that is "hungry for color, day brilliant in the tended garden where a peacock hoists a glad flag." Places visited stretch from a hospital lobby to the horizons of dawn and sunset. Current social justice issues around immigration, gender equality and war have inspired many of these poems which speak of the ultimate unity of all creation continuing to evolve from the original fire ball.
