Fact and fantasy, truth and fiction, myth and mistakes-all things come together in Songs of Kindness, a collection of 48 poems.

The poetry within contains multitudes: thoughts, experiences, and emotions.

Memories of childhood and family, contemplations on nature in all its states, considerations of relationships; there is a poem for all moods.

The message of all these poems seems simple: to treat all creatures with kindness. The path of kindness is not always easy, but if nothing else is taken from these poems, hopefully their central message is clear: that it is always, always worth it.
