All too often, public conversation is, reduced to sound bites, which is to say, to no conversation at all. Sound bites are shortcuts that allow us to skip over meaningful engagement with others. They are, used for their attention-getting power, not for their informational value. They are simple, easy to remember, but are never the whole story.
Opening Thoughts on Everyday Living: Digging Deeper, Looking Farther provides an alternative to sound bites in the form of short bites. Written in compact pieces, this book is, designed to foster a deeper consideration of the issues we all face. These personal reflections are, expressed through stories, essays, poems, songs, and observations, and are the result of a conscious effort to engage critically with the world.
An invitation to look below the surface and beyond first appearances, each short bite acts as a transformational journey. The first step is, understanding another point of view, and the end result is nothing short of revelatory.
