Something At The Center is a heartfelt collection of eclectic poetry that will appeal to both the casual reader and the avowed spiritual seeker. It reaches for the place that keeps people honest - the heart.
The sanskrit word "namaste" roughly translates as "my soul recognizes the divinity in you." Something At The Center explores the soul's recognition of the divine in everyday experience. Truth is found in our daily struggles as well as in deliberate moments of solitude and soul searching. This poetry stands in witness to the discoveries made when we are "fortunate to stand inside God's smile." |
"This book of poetic intimacy is a poignant reflection of the author's own spiritual journey. Each poem allows the reader access to the joys, sorrows, wonders, fears, questions, parallels and unconditional loves of the "surprise" encounters with God in each of our lives." Sister Judian Breitenbach, PHJC, The NAMASTE Center for Holistic Education (LaPorte, Indiana) "This collection of poems will surely strike a beautiful, divine, harmonic chord in your heart. By peeking into the soul of Barry Harris, we eavesdrop on the thoughts of God." - Brian Luke Seaward, Ph.D., author of Stand Like Mountain, Flow Like Water and Health of the Human Spirit.

Low
Hopes
Riding the office elevator upward I have low hopes for the day. Dragons and giants wait for me on my daily to-do list. It would be a good day if I could simply stay within myself, have a good conversation or two and throw a well-aimed pebble at the forehead of the one giant who might slay me tomorrow.
