Bob Myers Boeken

"I am not a poet. I make that clear in the first entry. I am by profession a teacher who loves to read and teach poetry and finds great pleasure in writing poetry to please myself and maybe my family and friends. In this collection you will read about my faith and some principles I embrace, about family, friends and people encountered, about ordinary things and ordinary events that pepper all our lives."Bob Myers is an Irish-Canadian writer, retired school principal, and father of seven. This is his second poetry book; his first, An Economy of Words, was published in 2018. Originally from county Laoise, Ireland, Bob now lives in Wellesley, Ontario.

Everyone experiences conflict with other people, some on a daily basis. Everyone seeks peace of mind and happiness. Travelling the road of peace and happiness combines both concepts and shows how we can discover peace and happiness by transforming conflict into creative conflict. We all gained a sense of right and wrong, and learned how to resolve conflict, through early childhood experiences in whatever was home' for us, and carried it into adult life. Therefore, this book uses simple family scenarios to expose the effects competition and domination have on relationships, while exploring the healing power of nonviolence.
