THOUGHTS KEEP FLOWING teaches us how to empty ourselves so that we can be refilled. The poetry of Part One reminds us that there are times when life calls upon us to make a positive contribution to humanity. If we are wise, we immediately heed the call and cautiously begin sowing the kinds of seeds that are destined to yield good fruits and influence the world far beyond what we are capable of thinking or imagining. We pour out of ourselves those character-building lessons that teach others how to listen with their hearts. It is then and only then, after pouring from our hearts, minds, and souls will we find that we have even more to give and that the "THOUGHTS KEEP FLOWING." Part Two of the this book is the first segment of a sequential novel where the author takes us into the lives of a family of characters who show us what it means to share similar surroundings but completely different experiences. When Beth Fisher decides to sell the family homestead, she commands a reunion that invokes a continuum of emotions, ranging from repugnance to ecstasy. Join this dynasty through a myriad of episodes that include: molestation, loss of virginity, abuse, mayhem, death, pain, sickness, sorrow, joy, laughter, and tears - all against a backdrop of southern dinners and family traditions. There has never been a walk down memory lane quite like this one.
