The title of the book, Unprepared To Be Amazed, reflects the surprise the poet encountered in his quest to discover more meaning and joy from life. What the poet found was that only his inner-reflective transformation and focused intention hold the keys to his query. The poems reflect the awareness of the poet as he observes the world, its challenges and his role in it. The short poems divulge new life principles and perspectives into our current challenging world. Common limiting life themes such as "problems", "victimization", "judgement", "separation"and "fear" are transformed through self-reflection and self-realization. Omnipresent opportunities, personal responsibility, compassion and a loving heart are highlighted as solutions that bring more joy into life. This book of self-reflective poetry inspires us to contemplate our own life experiences and shares messages of empowering paths of personal evolution toward an expansive personal freedom based on constant choice awareness and an openness to change.
