Synopsis

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"

About this title

About the Author

Brian writes poetry of the soul. What is time to spirit? Knocked unconscious by a drunk driver in a car accident at the age nine, Brian once scored all eight goals in a bantam 8-1 hockey tournament win. He stood first in his graduating class of Mathematics at University of Waterloo but ditched promising career at the Banff Centre of Fine Arts twice to go travelling the world. He dramatically met and lived with all the members from his immediate past life marriage families while in Paris, Israel Kibbutz, Santa Monica, and Mexico. He communed with sacred sites in Greece, Iona Scotland, Isla del Sol in the Andes, and climbed the Great Pyramid of Giza at midnight. He lived and taught holistic healing courses at the Findhorn Foundation, in N. Scotland, for three and a half years. Teaching of an ancient healing technique from Tibet took him around the world for ten years of his life, including Romania. Brian's first contact with A Course In Miracles was in 2000, through a group formed from a newspaper ad. It took him nine months to purchase the book, but you know there is no such thing as a little bit pregnant. Brian is now a poet, sculptor of idiosyncratic natural wood pieces, and director of Know ThySelf Inc, a small family business that has staged and promoted one Kenneth Wapnick and seven Gary R. Renard seminars at the University of Toronto. He lives with his psychology professor wife, Gabriela, and his second daughter, Alzena, budding teenage pianist, plus two advanced cats, Joy and Marlo, in Whitby, Ontario, Canada.
