Journey to Understanding

I can't recall precisely when or why I started to

write poetry. What I remember though is a demanding

period in my life during which I would publish demos of

my compositions in various social networks on a

regular basis. Usually, I would share them in blog posts

using embedded players, and add a short presentation.

In the case of songs, I would also include the lyrics. For

instrumentals, it seemed appropriate to write at least a

few stanzas, typically inspired by the underlying theme

of the compositions, or sometimes by their titles only.



Eventually I also published poems on their own,

without music, whether inspired by the circumstances I

was in, or to illustrate specific ideas, or in an attempt to

convey specific messages, or to share wisdom gathered

along the way, or to leave footprints behind.



The process I was involved in at the time led to a

flash of understanding that still resonates in me to this

day. That epiphany yielded a particular piece, to which I

gave the title “Understanding.”



The poems gathered here, the milestones of that

journey, are presented in their original chronological

order of publication, and their original form.
