Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reflects over fifty years of experience. Each has its own story, expressed by very different characters, some likeable and others a test of one's love for all humanity. Yet within them all there is a consistency of values (often expressed indirectly, or by their absence) and a 'spiritual' sense of the sacredness of life, the primacy of compassion and the overarching reality of interconnectedness. Dennis Oliver's poems and songs reflect their author's experiences of love and transcendence, plus an impatience with cruelty, injustice and indifference, providing many uplifting, touching, sometimes funny and sometimes inspirational reads.
