The poems in this book were first written, sometimes quickly, by Alex to capture insights about life that he had gained. Some of the thoughts came straight from his heart, in the peaceful early morning hours, spent reflecting on life over a cup of green tea. Others were inspired by reading and contemplation.
After sharing his first drafts with Eva, she masterfully edited them. Furthermore, she meaningfully added to the initial thoughts and reflections, greatly enhancing the original versions. She also drafted a few of the poems herself.
In compiling this collection, the intentions have been that as much as possible, the poems would be:
- Reality-based – true to lived experience.
- Inclusive – speaking to readers on any spiritual path, or none.
- Timeless – relevant today, next year, and in decades to come.
- Universal – able to touch people’s lives across a broad spectrum.
However, while the poems are intended to speak to people of any spiritual orientation, readers may find a gentle undercurrent of Christian and/or Buddhist thought as a result of the background and studies by their authors.
Alex and Eva are pleased to have permission from Jindrich (Henry) Degen, Eva’s father, to use some of his mainly abstract paintings as introductory pages to the sections and to the individual poems in this book.
The poems are arranged under the following themes:
- Truths of Life
- Wisdom for Life
- Acceptance
- End-of-Life Reflections
- In Memoriam
- Friendship
- Family
- On a Lighter Note
With the authors now well into their sixties, as well as having over the years been drawn to interact with and serve older members of their communities, the poems overall reflect a serious side of life. Specifically, four trains of thought have emerged: life has many wonderful qualities and is a precious opportunity to benefit oneself and many others; this life is impermanent and can end unexpectedly; life is inescapably governed by cause and effect; and life is not without difficulties, frustrations, and heartaches. To balance the soberness of the poems, Eva wisely suggested including a section entitled “On a Lighter Note”!
May readers find the feelings and thoughts about life captured in the poems helpful and insightful for their own life journey. Words, of course, are limited and so may they point to the deeper, heartfelt, and sometimes inexpressible, meanings.

Acerca del autor
Eva is an Australian author focused on spirituality, Christian theology, and the reflection in nature of spiritual realities. Readers have found her books insightful, inspiring, thought provoking, worthy of reflection, and providing practical guidance for spiritual growth.More specifically, she has written several books on the themes of Christian living and spiritual growth, salvation, God's grace, new birth, and the kingdom of God. The original ideas and much of the content came by inspiration.Another of her writing themes is nature and spirituality. Having enjoyed nature from early childhood, she has been able to later combine her love and knowledge of nature with spiritual insights. She believes that nature points us to God and reflects divine realities. This is the subject of her trilogy Divine Reflections.In addition, two of her books are experientially based self-help books and deal with subjects of practical nature. Eva has a degree in Biological Sciences and a Post-graduate Diploma and a Master's degree in Theology, as well as a Master's in English Language and Literature.Other than writing, her interests are in books and documentaries merging science and spirituality, dealing with health and natural remedies, and exploring ancient civilizations. She also enjoys nature walks, animals, art, and music.Readers interested in spirituality, a fresh way of looking at established ideas, spiritual growth, and reflective living are welcome to explore her writings at her website www.pathway-publishing.org, her Amazon author page, http: //amzn.to/1jxjH9C, and her Goodreads page, https: //www.goodreads.com/author/list/6606713.Eva_Peck ).

Instructions for revocation
Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
