I have read this poem a half dozen times over the past few days. Each time it gives me a new look, like the light on a canyon wall changing through the course of the day — a characteristic of good art I’m sure. The recognition of violent conflict as an ancient ritual of bloody sacrifice and that there is redemption in the returning to the source of our being is very compelling to me.

For as long as I can remember a dual between dread and hope has characterized the personal landscape of my existence. Don vividly captures this fundamental struggle and thankfully lights the way toward a future I dare to believe in. His prose is poetry for my wounded soul.

I’ve known Don over 40 years.
While remaining a master of complex facts surrounding news issues Don from time to time includes that “other” always missing from mainstream coverage: the moral imperative. Power and money speak a single language, elitist, boring, counter-intuitive. Bigger yachts, more stuff….the noise is deafening or so they would have us believe. We teeter, as we did in the 60′s, on acting within or without the system.
Thankfully Don does both, and thus provides hope where there seems to be none. He’s also one of the funniest guys I ever met.

Don’s imagery is vivid and disturbing. The power of the words impacts the reader. This can not be ignored. My spirit flowed through the journey he took me on. These were indeliable impressions not easily forgotten. I applaud Don on his lastest piece.

Don has put in beautiful and uncompromising language a point of view that rings universally true. Love is the imperative of our time. The only way to re-unite with the Heart of All is through the power blessing. We have a challenging adventure before us. The choices are narrowing, but the possibilities are infinite.

I have been familiar with Don’s work for some time now. I am constantly amazed and sometimes stunned at Don’s virtuosity. He can be blazing angry at social injustice and then switch to humor and self-depreciation in a heartbeat. He is a gifted poet and his social commentary is incisive and always on target. I recommend his work to all your readers!
