    About this ebook

    On July 17th 2018, D. Michael met his twin flame who awakened something in his spirit
    that gave us,”A Future More Than This.”

    He hopes that by reading his first work you will come away with an understanding that when it comes to God, it is more about a relationship than a religion.
    And that the best religion that you could ever hope to practice is the one that you are practicing now!

    We are all more than what we seem at first read.
    And not only is love all you need; in the end, love is all there is!
    Everything else; as strange as it might seem, is an illusion!

      Dear Reader;

      In my life I have been a teacher and a student, a son and a father, a stranger and a friend.

      For those who have met me I am sure they went away with strong opinions. What those opinions were is anyone’s guess.

      I studied enough poetry in school to understand that I could write.

      No one ever bothered to explain to me that this was something I might want to pursue as a career.

      If my writing seems different, perhaps this is why?

      I have; nonetheless, managed to live a blessed life. And what ever regrets I have they are too few to mention here.

      Human suffering is a topic I revisit again and again in my writing, I suppose; because it has afforded me the opportunity to grow my spirit/body/mind.

      Instead of internalizing it, I attempt to simply observe it.

      Be a witness to the pain attached in an effort to let it go!

      The forgiveness to be had or to be given; I try to get out of the way early.

      Then record what has occurred so that others may laugh at my mistakes.

      The love I have found is the only thing I get to take with me when I leave

      so I make sure I honor it when it presents itself
