A Poet's Musings in Prose: Explorations into Thought, Meaning, and Purpose

With a background of interests as varied as language, ecology, physics, and intuition, this seasoned Canadian-American author, Howard A. Osborn, shares anecdotes and insights in a conversational, storytelling style-while pondering deep questions of meaning, perception, and purpose. Drawing from experience in far-flung locales-from Latin America to Oregon and from Europe to the Orient, Osborn demonstrates his proclivity to see connections in disparate or chaotic circumstances.

This posthumous compilation highlights both the author's poetic sensitivities and the word-whimsy playfulness found in his prose. He muses over a wide range of topics, including fatherhood, time and infinity, science and perception, love and loss, sustainability and community, as well as the marvels of nature-from butterflies to redwoods to slime molds.

This book is for word lovers and nature lovers, as well as anyone who frequently wonders why. It offers thought-provoking explorations for thinkers who want to get beyond life's surface patterns.
