Springtime In Autumn

Springtime in AutumnThis collection of poems is part and parcel of a man's spiritual journey of self-discovery. John Chuchman's quest for his true self has resulted in his own "growing up to be a kid again." Hence, his own re-birth or springtime in the autumn of his years.If John's poetry never got published, it would be ok with him as the true benefit to him came in its writing. Getting in touch with his feelings about his own quest and then being able to fashion some words to begin to describe them has been important to John's spiritual growth. Crystalizing his journey in poetry provided him spiritual insight, self-knowledge, and great joy.As the poems were shared with loving connections along the way, family, friends, grief support connections, etc., many related to John that their reading related to their own journeys and/or raised questions they needed to ask. Many who shared in John's poetry encouraged him to get them wider circulation in order that more could benefit.The poems in this collection describe John's hunger and thirst, raising questions probably unanswerable this life. John concludes that the answers are all around him and that it's the right questions he seeks. The poems in this collection raise some of those questions . . . for John and for all of us.Chuchman, John is the author of 'Springtime In Autumn', published 2001 under ISBN 9781591091769 and ISBN 1591091764.
