Walking With Joy

Author: Fred Hose

Format: PDF

Walking with Joy is about a long walk with the author. It’s about a pathway of discovery and on the way you’ll learn about the art of living, the art of writing and the essence of poetry. You’ll learn about the good and bad sides of some well known people and what we should learn from them.

As you walk along, the conversational topics will include the nine muses, van Gogh, Picasso, Nijinsky and the Symbolist Poets of France and many other real or imaginary people and even animals. Mainly, the author draws attention to Nature around you. He suggests that you don’t walk past that old Apple tree but walk over to it and hug it. That you hold a wriggling fish in your hands just to see what happens.

He holds up a hand and says "listen". Listen to that cricket in the Mexican bush or that donkey that carries two sacks full of pottery to the market.

He’ll tell you about some personal adventures that reveal that destiny often has a sense of humour. Around a campfire, he’ll tell you about loves lost and loves found. With a faraway look in his eyes, he’ll tell you about an eternal longing for a mystical place, far far away, that he longs to visit one day. Above all, he’ll tell you with a gleam in his eyes, about the joys of singing, music and dancing. He will ask you to listen to the magical effects of a violin played by someone with joy in his heart.

The journey will end as you come to the last page but after you close the book you will not be the same. Something deep down inside of you will have changed. You’ll know how it is to walk with joy.
