Some people have fairy-tale lives. Others live with wrenching, emotional or physical pain. Most have a mix, sometimes with elements hidden. The sum of it all often creeps into consciousness as one confronts death, first hand. Friends and loved ones begin to pass on—in a flash or bit by bit via a debilitating disease. Meanwhile, media inundates ones’ senses relentlessly with ads about anti-aging drugs and “expert” advice on how to live on indefinitely without gray hair, wrinkles, or failing body parts. The Golden Window author uses poetry, the music of words, to share his experiences in ways meant to resonate with and lift readers in their own lives, as the fairy-tale part falters. The poems are divided into six parts: Self-Reliance; Living Full; Nature; Joys; Sorrows; and Caregiving. His words are those of an unseen friend conversing quietly with you as you make your journey.
