    Excerpts from the book:

    About Choice

    "We do not always choose
    what happens to us
    but we all have a choice
    on how we react when
    something happens to us."

    All I Am

    "I can live,
    my whole life,
    in fear,
    of who I am,
    or I can go out
    and be all I am."

    Knowing God

    "Knowing God
    changes us,
    if the change is not
    for the better,
    for the good,
    then we, in fact,
    do not know God,
    but merely the selfish
    desires of our own
    wanting hearts."

    Fell

    "From glory's heights
    and so we fell,
    straight down to
    the depths of hell.

    Our destruction's
    coming well-nigh,
    but for salvation sent
    from on high.

    As fell beasts
    our time we spent,
    by our own hands
    our souls we bent.

    True innocence
    yet for us to find,
    in the sacred reach
    of our inner-child."

    Footprint

    "Expansion,
    development,
    so the human footprint
    continues to grow.
    To what extent,
    to what end,
    I cannot tell,
    I do not know."

    Enemy Within

    "You are your own
    worst enemy,
    you are the one
    you must defeat.

    You may lose the battle
    many a time,
    at best win a few,
    but the war is long fought
    with victory still in sight."

      A View of the World (Thoughts Discovered - S. Tarr

      Preface

      I again find myself in a coffee shop, writing this. What attracts me to a place like this is, perhaps, the buzz and the atmosphere of the people, giving my work another sense of meaning and significance, that it is not an isolated matter, in that I draw motivation not only from within myself but also from others as they move and go about their ways.

      And with that sentiment it is fitting that the title, of this volume of Thoughts Discovered, is A View of the World. As such, this volume, along with the previous volume, Wisdom for This Age, deals with how I experience the world and how we interact with each other and the world around us, whereas the last two volumes are more outward looking in their approach, reflecting on the wonders of life and the profoundness of existence.

      Now, whenever a personal opinion is voiced, especially to the wider public, there will always be someone with a completely opposite view to yours, or someone who just does not like your particular view on things. In writing and publishing this volume I am well aware of this fact and I sincerely hope that my perspective will be understood within its poetic context and, even better, accepted as a viable point of view, even if it is not agreed with entirely.

      * Perhaps we shall meet one day and discuss these thoughts over a fine brew and share those thoughts that you too have discovered.

      A View of the World

      The Meaning of Life

      I often ponder

      the meaning of life.

      My thoughts are split apart

      into many pieces

      but they all
