Heartfelt is a collection of well written, thought-provoking works of art. It was not written in the mold, or under the guise of a traditional poetry book. Heartfelt is much more than that, destined to stimulate the readers' critical thinking, enhanced by words of wisdom, stirring up breathtaking imagery as the writer's message(s) pulls the reader further in. The writer's intentions are clear and concise, nudging readers towards a spiritual path: Self-Love, Self-Actualization, and spiritual growth. Perhaps the writer's greatest ability resides in allowing the reader to see the world through his eyes with excellent story telling coupled with profound meaning, giving readers a chance to escape and analyze the harsh realities of this world. During an era in human history when life appears to be tenuous and bleak, Heartfelt is a timely edition written to inspire hope and uplift the hearts of everyone in the world, in particular, our youth. If our youth sees nothing but hopelessness in the world today, how can they believe it's possible to have a better future? A future they are responsible for creating, shaping, and molding with weak leadership as their guide. Notwithstanding, what they are witnessing is the shameful dismantling and complete destruction of the only world they know. Notably, the writer's intent with Heartfelt is to motivate our youth by inspiring them to believe in themselves, imploring them to have faith in their abilities to create a better world. He urges them to imagine a world devoid of pollution, money, corruption, war, poverty, homelessness, and starvation. Then he encourages them to take action on ridding the world of such things aforementioned --- elevating their consciousness, and moving through the world with feelings of gratitude, appreciation, empathy, kindness, love, compassion, and forgiveness. When in pursuit of a better world, we must seek higher ground, having the willingness to strive for a higher state of consciousness.
