Voyage of the Soul

It wasn’t that long ago that the world we live in was run differently. Some of the past still surrounds us, but is much less prevalent. The world of which I speak was controlled by money and power. Those who had it suppressed the weak and poor. The suppressed had no choice but to abide by the suppression. This show of power existed in every aspect of life, from love to war. During this time, bias and prejudice were ways of life. The wealthy did as they pleased. They married to keep status. This still happens today, but not to the same extent. Many were forced to learn to love, rather than be free to find it as were the poor. The poor could find their mate, rather than be forced into an arranged marriage. Love and life were very much dependent on the class into which you were born. This book is the story of a man, who wished to be his own man. He knew his place in this world wasn’t what was given or laid out before him. Jacque wished to make his own way. During his exploits, he found himself on foreign and biased soil. This is where his life would change; it would begin. He fell in love with a woman he was forbidden to marry. Their love for each other carried them to places neither of them thought possible, both good and bad. This is a story not just about love, but life. Unfortunately, it is honest and true, for life is filled with as much happiness as it is pain. Here is Jacque, a Frenchman, who loved Elizabeth, an Englishwoman, and their story.

So, You Said You Wanted To Get To Know Me!

    At the root of it, I believe every human is filled with an angel and a beast. Both sides have their benefits, but too much of either is not for the best. The angel side allows us to see the beauty in life; the beauty in others. The beast aids us in survival, because let us admit it, life is cruel. If we’re too angelic, then we get stepped on while we admire the flowers. If we embrace the beast too much, then destruction is left in the wake of our paths. Here I find myself, the average man, fighting the never-ending battle that resides in all of us. Though we may never be able to speak openly about it, we can write it. This is what I have done. Instead of just tucking it away, I have decided to put it out there for all of you. Here you will find the beauty of life through my eyes. The pain and anguish will be evident. To love is to live and there is a fair share of that too. Of course, everyone has their quirky side, so I included that, even though it may be strange to you. It makes perfect sense to me. I couldn’t leave out the questions about life I have either. We were born into this world with one burning question always on our mind. Why? Maybe my mind does this more than others, maybe not, but it is always working on some thought. It’s possible that some of my thoughts have crossed your mind too, but we’ll have to see. If not, then it might give you something to think about. So, here is how I look at the world, those around me, and most importantly my inner being. Here I am, at my deepest and most profound depths.
