BY GEORGE: ‘Mindful Living’

Greetings, Dear Reader,

Welcome to “By George” a collection of poetic musings crafted with mindful intent and deep introspection. This compilation is a testament to the evolving journey of the human spirit, capturing moments of joy, sorrow, contemplation, and revelation. It has been an endeavor of love and patience, a labor of four years meticulously spent in weaving words that resonate with the rhythm of life.
It is through the art of poetry that I have found a unique and profound expression of the human experience. This book is not just a reflection learnings of my professional journey but also a glimpse into the depths of my soul.
The title, “By George”, carries a special significance. It plays on the old-fashioned exclamation “By George”—a phrase once used to convey surprise or admiration without the need for sacred or offensive words. It adds a touch of charm and humor to the collection, nodding to both the phrase’s historical roots and my own name. This expression, though rare in modern conversation, carries a timeless quality that fits perfectly with the essence of mindful living.
In these pages, you will find poems that invite you to pause, reflect, and embrace the present moment. They are crafted with a keen awareness of the delicate balance between thought and emotion, intention and spontaneity. Each verse is a journey into mindfulness, encouraging you to find peace and inspiration in the simple act of being. As you embark on this poetic adventure, I hope you find solace, joy, and a renewed sense of wonder. May these words serve as a gentle reminder of the beauty that lies in the everyday, the power of mindful living, and the endless potential within each of us.
