A collection of poems about life, love, memories, and perception. From sitting next to a lake, to traveling through mountains, to watching elderly residents from behind a desk, Mr. Pompey's poems take in life with insight, dry humor, and the perceptions of a poet who has reached the twilight of aging. Somewhere in this mix is God the observer and perhaps a chance to live in peace.

Little Wisdom is a series of Wisdom Teachings, Poems, Short Stories, and Practices intended to introduce traditional integrative wisdom, evoke discerning thought, and remind us of the spirit of the old ways. As I write this work there are elders, deities, ancestors, spirits of Nature, and others who come to share their thoughts and words. As I write Creator and the Spirit of Creation guide my thoughts. Though I am the author I am not the only contributor. I am an indigenous medicine man, a ‘shaman’, with traditional values.

Wordsworth's The Prelude is the consummation of his achievement as the great founder of English romanticism. An autobiography in verse, it tells of his childhood in the Lake District, his student days in Cambridge, his passion for the French Revolution and his later disenchantment with it. It also tells of his personal journey to a belief in Nature as the great moral and spiritual force which shapes human life, but on which human society all too often turns its back.
