- Book Synopsis
- 'Reflection gives the brain an opportunity to pause amid the chaos, untangle and sort through observations and experiences, consider multiple possible interpretations, and create meaning' - Jennifer Porter Life is an endless stream of experiences that impact the senses and leave indelible imprints on our memories. The poems contained within this book are representations, through reflection, of the indelible imprints on Terry's life. The poems are diverse in subject, covering many topics with inspiration taken from all facets of Terry's life, whether personal or professional. These include his passion for the history of all things mechanical, electrical and steam driven, the challenges faced as a single man taking on a ready-made family and the fears and ultimate joys that this brings, the ebb and flow of friendships throughout a lifetime and the personal impact of a Parkinson's diagnosis in the latter years of his life.
