Who are we? Where are we headed?

First Book: Capricorn & Cancer

In December, 2020, Elizabeth, my wife of 50 years, passed away after struggling for two years with pancreatic cancer and storke. During this time, the pandemic was raging, and America was struggling to salvage its very identity and survival. A time of deep transformation. What's the way forward?

In response to all this I worte a book - "Capricorn & Cancer" - to confront the heart of death itself - not only of my wife's passing, but of an America, fractured and drying - and the need here in America for a deep transformation in the way we view our own lives and relstionaship with the universe around us, and to life and death itself.

Second Book: Traveling to a New America:
A compilation of selected pieces from my prior ten books, as well as blogs I have written over the last few years; of poems; articles about great, though sometimes not so well known, heroes and heroines of our American past; and comments and reflections about America from a few of the many ordinary men and women I met and interviewed on the streets in different towns and cities while "Traveling to a New America".

Third Book: Handbook for Youth in a Muddied Age:
Encouraging excerpts from my own writings, as well as inspiring words from some of the great figures of our past.

Fourth Book: The New Superpower:
Thoughts of my own and others, inspired by my visit to make a film in Hiroshima, Japan.

Fifth Book: Maybe We Need A New Religion:
Inspired by an article I read of a ten-year-old boy, who, after reading over and over of the continuing religious conflicts taking place all over the world, exclaimed: "Maybe we need a new religion."
