Voices-of-Nature

Echoes of Life, Listening for The Truth.

Author: qjoverton

I have been writing for the past forty years with little thought of publishing. That changed last year. I have a great love for the written word. It is a wonderful feeling when a person reads a passage and it brings an emotion that has lain hidden below the surface. That fuels my ambition to continue writing. Echoes of Life, Listening fo The Truth This is my interpretation of life, as it was, what it is, and what it might be. I follow no lines of a concrete structure. These are merely the thoughts that have been screaming in my head for years, straining to be set free. It is with this tangible site that I give the intangible flight. So welcome to my thoughts. I hope you will find a measure of entertainment as well as thought-provoking moments.
