Excerpt from Book:

Introduction

It is not important to the scope of this book that you know my entire life-story, but it is worth noting that my life has been a great launching pad for all my current endeavors, including my writings and recordings.

Suffice it to say that like many of you, I grew up in a little town, progressed through school, went to college, fell in love- did all the things that we humans do. It is important for me to mention, as well, that from an early age I was encouraged by my parents, both seekers of wisdom, to read voraciously, and to become a life-long seeker of truth.

And so I have.

My purpose (as I currently understand it) is that of artist, musician, author, teacher and counselor. I believe that God and I decided, before my soul incarnated here on earth, that I would use my abilities in these areas to help others in the world.

My life seems to go in cycles. For nearly a decade after college I used the above abilities to teach and educate others in a variety of ways. Following that period, I have for the last decade used those skills to perform over 5000 inspirational, live, musical programs for elders in the various settings in which they reside.

Now, at the direction of Spirit, I am entering a new mode where I continue to teach and perform, but also work at home as an artist, creating recordings for elders in my studio, writing journals, poetry, music and books on the spiritual journey, and making inspirational CDs, cassettes, and videos for people of all ages. In this way, I hope I can touch many more lives with messages of love, healing, and joy through music and the spoken and written word.

I hope you enjoy this very special book from Music-Outreach Publishing. May you find it helpful, enjoyable and useful.

Sincerely,
Michael

It has taken me a long time to come to the conclusions and questions listed above. I had to learn many lessons during the course of my life’s journey, lessons which would prepare my spirit to be planted in the ground of love. I am still learning! Sometimes, like the rest of humanity, I take one step forward and two steps back. Yet I do believe overall that I am growing; and I am listening for God’s voice, the voice of love.

Perhaps as you read this book you will remember things you have learned in your own life-journey. Perhaps you will want to jot down your own realizations. I encourage you to do so! That’s how this book began, with stopping to take stock of things I have learned and jotting them down.

This book has become a synthesis of many of the things I have absorbed and found to be true, a synthesis of much that keeps me walking on the road towards love. If I visualize the creation of this book, it is as though I see myself walking down the road, traveling toward Oz or some other yearned for mythical city. Then I see myself pause, sit down beside the road on a large comfortable boulder, and jot down what I have found to be most helpful and beneficial on my journey.

The stopping and taking stock is so important for all of us. I hope my words are inspiring for you. Keep what resonates with you, set aside what does not; but file what does not resonate right now away in your heart and mind, for you may find some of it useful at a later date in your life. I know that this strategy has proved beneficial to me in my own reading and study.

I do sincerely hope that you will add your own truth. If you want to scribble your own thoughts in the margins, go ahead. I won't mind! We are all writing a book together, you know. I think each of our lives is a chapter. Somehow it all fits together. I hope you enjoy this account of what I have learned in my own little chapter, my own experience of life. Digest it, scribble notes, agree, disagree- discourse is good! That’s how we learn. It isn’t antithetical to love. We must all allow each other to learn, grow and perceive in the way that’s right for each of us.

My greatest hope is not that you will come to believe just as I do, but that you will come to feel that your own journey’s lessons are important, to you and to our world.

I hope this little book will become a springboard for taking stock of your own life: where you are, what your truth is, and where you are going. I send you my prayer that you may always be headed in the direction of love. Or perhaps more accurately, my prayer is that no matter what occurs in the course of your journey, you may know that your constant partner on the road is God, who I believe is the spirit of love.

Many truths and realizations can help us toward this knowledge. And I believe that when we learn to live fully in this knowledge, we will be truly happy, and most abundantly blessed.

So let’s begin . .
