Books

This must be the book you’ve always been looking for. After all, you picked it up and now you’re thumbing through it, right? You have questions. Probably first and foremost what is the key to life? What does it mean to be alive? So consider this:

We are transformers. We have more power than we know. This is how we do it. This is how we flip the script from the mean world we live in where the hard-hearted snarl that the kind are soft-headed. With uncalled for, unexpected kindness we watch others for their longings, and we make up for their shortcomings.

We play this outrageous game to make All That Is better. It’s why we were born. What could be better than to know that we become the flame flicker that ignites someone who torches yet another until we all become a roaring, miraculous bonfire that transforms darkness into light?

Are you thunderstruck? Don’t just stand there agape! You are that Greek word agape*. You have more power than you imagine.

*agape (ah-guh-pay) noun. Unselfish love and concern for the good of another. If you are standing there agape, not quite understanding, but intrigued, this book surely is for you.

A collection of poetry , including the title poem:

Open Your Eyes!

You’ll never believe this

But the other day

On the road from Sublime to Ridiculous

At the corner of Here and Now

I stopped at a stoplight

And in the lane next to me

I saw a panda on a Harley

Honest! I’m not kidding!

I guess it just goes to show

You’d better pay attention

Anything can happen

In this fabulous world

—- John Monczunski

( I really did see that panda! On the corner of McKinley and Main St. in Mishawaka. Snapped the photo with my phone camera while waiting for the light to change)
