The Sanskrit word ""namaste"" roughly translates as "my soul recognizes the divinity in you." "Something At The Center" explores the soul's recognition of the divine in everyday experience. Truth is found in our daily struggles as well as in deliberate moments of solitude and soul searching. This poetry stands in witness to the discoveries made when we are "fortunate to stand inside God's smile."

"This book of poetic intimacy is a poignant reflection of the author's own spiritual journey. Each poem allows the reader access to the joys, sorrows, wonders, fears, questions, parallels and unconditional loves of the "surprise" encounters with God in each of our lives."
--Sister Judian Breitenbach, PHJC, The NAMASTE Center for Holistic Education

"This collection of poems will surely strike a beautiful, divine, harmonic chord in your heart. By peeking into the soul of Barry Harris, we eavesdrop on the thoughts of God."
--Brian Luke Seaward, Ph.D., author of "Stand Like Mountain, Flow Like Water "and "Health of the Human Spirit."
