Realizing Life, Inspiration In Verse

Dear Fellow Human Doers: It was nothing but happenstance that brought me to the teachings of Sydney Banks years ago. It was desperation that motivated me to really hear. It was willingness that allowed my understanding to grow, slowly at first, until the chaos in my mind began to still, and I gradually became acquainted with the peace and tranquility that is an innate part of every one of us. Because I have always been a poet, and because the inspiration was so powerful, I have used poetry in my teaching ever since I began to teach the 3 Principles in Santa Clara County's (CA) programs. REALIZING LIFE is a collection of the lessons in poetry. It is my hope that they will touch hearts, and enable the reader to learn at a non-intellectual level, and that they will bless every reader with the understanding I've been given at the hands of excellent teachers and of course, Mr. Banks. Syd passed away last year, and we all miss his wisdom and direction. I thank him every day that he was able to put words around his deep insight and share a tiny grain of his enlightenment with me. Enjoy the words, allow the insights, and don't forget to laugh at yourself!
