Getting Back to My Desk or After a Brief Hiatus (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

In these my middle years, and after having given up so much, wife, full custody of my children, jobs, etc. etc, I have come to fully understand that Life really is about giving up. Not in the sense of failure nor despair but in the sense of letting go and giving away and trusting Chance or whatever you would call it that things REALLY ARE "OK" and are working out for the best.
These poems were written after I had had about all I could of poetry and setting up the website-"Open Mics Austin" and needed a real break. So I turned my back on the Poetic Life for about 3 months, and then began to Really miss it.
These poems are what came out of me when i got back to work on my writing full of love and renewed faith for the fact: The more we give, The more we have to give away.

I've been writing for a very long time, what seems like my whole life, taking it seriously from the time I was about 11. Now, at 46, I think I may be starting to get the hang of it: Say what you feel, as passionately as you can, but always with an ear turned to those who are listening.
Most of my more serious work is done at live performances, which i do totally extemporaneously, channeling the mood of the room as my fingers play on the guitar. You can see some of that if you go to "my" website. (Open Mics Austin is a platform I created to showcase the Spoken Word scene here in Austin, TX. Only a small role in which i play.)
As far as I can tell what makes good writing is LOVE. Love ,plainly simply, and with no strings attached.
I put these words/books before you, not so much because I want something back from it, because I think and feel like I feel my bones and my soul, if you were to see the world, experience it like it do, for even a brief moment, you would walk away from that happier, more alive, compassionate and in tune with all those around you.
Peace, good will, and harmony. Let those be your guiding light.
Agape forever,
Scott Vanya
