Memoirs of the Soul Michael Price

In the art of it there is a reflection of life as it is found across the breadth of nature. The verses within this work are inspired to teach of this universal transcendency we call life. They will be of a purpose by which the reader may learn of him/herself the greater being by which we are a part. Virtue is but the entire whole being greater than the sum of its parts. Alike a loaf of bread made from scratch, each ingredient is bitter and displeasing, yet when carefully added together, given time to bake, then those ingredients comprise a nutritious completion. So a true poem may be of words that teach of an understanding which is greater than the words used to create the verse. Inspiration is but the essence of an artistic creation, and the creator is but the vehicle of such. There we will learn by a work of creativity the nature of life as is understood through nature, truth and beauty. For it is but these qualities which created the greater universe by which we all belong. Live by virtue and there will illumine the entire resolution of any conflict. Within poetry is presented a problem and throughout the verse to the very ending is a solution to this problem, giving the reader understanding and benefit. Learn by art and the never-ending process of life will become more and more complete, like a loaf of bread.
