The Museum of Michael's Mind - Volume One

"With soft humor and gentle wonder, Michael generously shares his reflections on compassion and connection. What he has learned will resonate in your heart and mind." Patricia Anderson May 2010 Evanston Writers Workshop Conference. Over 175 writings including creative non-fiction, fiction, dreams, thoughts, experiences, memories, and more. Michael's writing is easy, engaging and at times eloquent. Figurative, fanciful, and at times funny. Meaningful, meandering, and at times moving. Detailed, descriptive, and at times deep. The audience for which he wrote this book includes: (unabashedly) himself, those who might have thought similar thoughts to his, those who have had similar experiences as he has had. It is for those who have wondered about things, those who have looked for answers, those who have supported a close one through living with Alzheimer's, those who have grieved the death of a loved one and celebrated the birth of a new being. He hopes to let the reader know they are not alone in this frightening, overwhelming, impermanent, wonderful world. His author's "voice" suggests that you get a cup of coffee and join him in a conversation about life. Since it is his voice, you will probably not be able to get a word in but still, the experience should be an enjoyable one! He made a baker's dozen of his favorite chocolate chip cookies with walnuts. Another cup of coffee? Sure. And have another cookie.
