Life can be seen as a series of existential encounters always
needing interpretation, whether it is with ideas or events, even
those that are purely imaginary. Sometimes the interpretation is
obvious and universal (such as when the young lady gives a firm NO
to your invitation to dinner ). But others can be intensely
personal and tragic thus almost impossible to share. Always though,
there is a passion to understand, to come to terms with that great
paradox-life. In The Boundaries Dissolve, Jim Owen, now in his late
seventies, seeks to interpret, in both his essays and poems, some
of life's encounters he has experienced over the last decade from
the perspective of an evangelical Christian. Quite often he moves
from the very personal to a universal application or understanding.
The essays are more theological in content, working with an idea
that has troubled his thoughts, seeking to understand the
providence of God that not only satisfies him intellectually, but
also stimulates the mind of his readers. His poetry, as might be
expected, is more personal and existential-responding to the moment
of encounter, trying to capture the impressions that will interpret
the events before they fade. His poems cover a broad spectrum-from
the whimsical to the somber, from the purely imaginary to the
tragedies of real life, but behind all of them he is a Christian
trying to interpret a world desperately in need of the gospel yet
oblivious to it. Whatever the reader's position, or taste in
poetry, these poems will hopefully ignite one's mind and emotions,
and beckon one to see life's many facets from a unique perspective.
