Publisher's Synopsis
Here in his second collection of spiritual poetry, Gregory David Done guides us in his unique, honest, and intensely personal style through the ever changing landscape of the inner self. Covering a wide variety of topics and themes, As I Am: Collections from a Beer Stained Notebook is a brutal and heartfelt cry into the wilderness of a darkened age, an empowering voice for all the weary souls frustrated by love, and all the downtrodden seekers lost in the jungle of language and problems that today surround the spiritual path. As I Am is a powerful and moving exploration of both the drama of human life and the most fundamental of all human questions: Who am I? Here in this collection of metaphysical poetry we see an age old truth come to life that liberation is to be found, not somewhere in the unknown future, but here and now in the experience of reality as it actually is. That self acceptance and lasting transformation will only come when we can see through the illusion of the ego and embrace ourselves as we actually are. And the message here is clear that no matter how imperfect, ruined, or lost in the dark we may feel ourselves to be in this complicated world, our true self beneath the mask of personality is nothing less than the perfect, unborn, and indestructible spiritual source of all things.
