Bücher von James Victor Anderson

THE HEART HAS A HOMELY FACE is a book of introspective poetry composed on ordinary themes that come through a Taoist perspective. Anderson's poetry rests on a point of inner balance upon common experiences. He brings forth the insights that most people can relate to concerning their connection with all things living. Anderson asks in his work, "What has my life as a poet meant but to tighten the string that ties us all together?" As a philosophical Taoist Anderson tries to weigh all of his subjects with an equal objectivity that evokes empathy and compassion from within one's self, and connects with all humankind.

In this volume of IMMERSION INTO QUANTUM CREEK, we find a 105-year-old World War One veteran who wants the gift of dying on his own terms rather than at the hands of institutions. In his escape to a favorite stream in the Oregon hills, he discovers through his meditations that "on his own terms" is not in the Quantum universe's vocabulary. He becomes another way of seeing that "Your will be done, Master, and not our own."
