The poems in this book came to me as gifts, and I am passing them on to you as my gift. As I've said in my previous two books, I find it almost impossible to just sit down and write a poem or a song - and I greatly admire those who have this talent. My poems seem to grow organically and just appear when they are ready and I am receptive.

I first started to write poetry while in college, in addition to obtaining graduate degrees in Physics and Computer Science. Attending school in the late 60's, I naturally became a self-taught folk singer - a hobby that I pursue avidly to this day. My career involved designing radar and communications systems for air-traffic control - combining my scientific bent with my life-long fascination with aviation.
