Diving into this beautiful collection of poems reveals at once the heart's unflinching determination to find answers to life's most profound questions. Opening with a prayer for deeper understanding of the soul's journey, the search on the path from fear and doubt to love and sincerity begins. It continues with the discovery of inner guidance and devotion, which provide strength to engage the inner battle of temptation and desire, to see the emptiness parading as fulfillment, and to dedicate more fully to find the imperturbable joy of being. The journey culminates in an ever more compelling search to understand and experience the unconditional nature of love, compassion, and freedom from egoic clinging and grasping to straws of illusion. From the heart of great adventure and an insatiable hunger for the deepest wisdom, Daniel's poetry is both unsettling and uplifting. His uncompromising quest for Truth and indelible courage to face what is false, endear him to fellow travelers on the path of Self-discovery, Illumination and Love. His writing is paradoxically beautiful in its simplicity and depth, its fearlessness and trepidation, and its humility and self-assured poise. This thoughtful, searingly honest, self-searching set of poems arouses and inspires the reader to set out on this noble path.
