Of Course

You don’t have to be a student of A Course in Miracles to appreciate the relationship and situational challenges expressed in these poems by Brian. His wife, Gabriela, and daughter Alzena form a triangle of conscious direction with Brian to return home. They are ordinary people with ordinary lessons of forgiveness. His poems deal with: healing special, up-close relationships, falling off the success ladder, past lives popcorn, surefire stock options expiring worthless, boomer ageing/raging, the professor of too much truth telling, dupe-licating our parents, the halo effect, “above the battleground” in marriage, even ten short auto poems, thoughts while driving, and stoned out of you. What is not ordinary is applying what Gary Renard calls quantum forgiveness, seeing the other[s] and ourselves as totally innocent and guiltless . . . so different than the ego’s habitual denial and external projection! Then turning it over to Holy Spirit, our inner teacher, to show us the truth so that we can change our mind’s thinking from separation to connection and union. “Remember, kindness created you kind.”
