The journey in this book continues on where The Nature of Man left off, with poetic topics on both nature and man's imprint from his life. John L. Breska has picked pieces he felt continued his trail through the seasons of our existence. From tattoos to the bee, from gratitude to prayer, Breska has attempted to address those subjects he felt he has known in some capacity. His hope is that you can identify with them, as well.
“John Breska’s ability to draw out the most basic human emotions is extraordinary. He paints word pictures that will take you from childhood memories, life experiences, and beyond, all with a grace that will leave you in awe long after you finish reading.”
—Marc Hartman, retired pressman
“Having known John Breska my entire life, I so enjoy this delightful and insightful collection of heartfelt poems! I truly can hear John’s voice as he expresses a creative take on these memories and musings. Through it all, his deep faith in God and the assurance that everything happens for a reason is ever present.”
—Susan Schneck, program and curriculum manager
“I have known John Breska for many years, and his way with words amazes me. His ability to reach deep into his heart and soul and put his words of wisdom onto paper is uncanny.
