Book Description
Streams of events that take us to where we are in our lives are a collective, realized upon reflection in previous volumes of thought or journal entries. It's with near reality and obstruction defying tenacity we carry on, and change tracks as needed to maintain forward progress. In the process of reaching our own goals we adapt, rise, and fall with the tides, never losing sight of or becoming derailed from our personal mission en-route. This volume is part autobiographical in personal experiences and barely fictionalized likenesses of those who've crossed the author's path, tells of regular daily routines, loftier philosophizing moments, oddball observations, and socially charged, human rights inspired reflections. It accounts for smaller side-missions that were taken on temporarily, to not lose focus of the primary, big picture goal, learning as we go along. This volume is a continuation of where the first seven's not entirely planned, but gladly accepted, evolutionary path are taking the author.
