Rene Descartes stated, "I think; therefore, I am." John would say, "I am; therefore, I think." This unique book of poetry is John's response to his life experiences, in which he reflects on the life of a son, husband, father, grandfather, athlete, student leader, business manager, Christian church leader, citizen of America and the world, teacher, and avid reader, and is his response to his relationships with the remarkable people he has been privileged to know.
