No Kind of Blues

Book Cover & Preview Text
Letting Be
Life is a lot of measured wear-and-tear.
Our hearts pump 7-plus tons per cycle of sun
through 60 thousand miles of venule to keep
a billion neurons firing between our ears.
So, why not surrender to the footloose music
of our blood, revel in the muddy boot,
the thorn-pierced thumb, a lover’s scrambled
eggs, every nudge toward natural ways to be –
run naked as Zorba and splash our
two square yards of flesh into the sea.

About the Book
No Kind of Blues is a word play on the glory of autumn leaves – every earthly color but blue in their final glorious days. No blues despite the heat, cold and storms of life; just the eternal promise of renewal.
