Further Reflections - Body, Mind and Soul is a quiet yet searching poetry collection that gathers the author's lived thoughts, questions, and contemplations across many terrains of life. Moving fluidly between the inner world and the shared world, these poems reflect on teaching, and facilitating in the classroom, the moral weight of religion and ethics, and a deep concern for the Earth and our responsibility towards its care. Bidding farewell, celebrating and remembering departed friends, relatives, famous people in the world of movies, life and literature, there are poems of dedication and odes to give us rich lessons of lives once well lived on Earth.
Rooted in observation and experience, the verses invite readers to pause, listen, and reflect - on learning as a human exchange, on life as a continual inquiry, and on the delicate balance between body, mind and soul.
