After Midnight the Shark Bites A voice intrudes the darkness spites With every thought death confirming it's there Denied in this moment but a presence now shared In the early morning hours a raw voice woke up inside me At its own pace, and delivering in paired lines, it forced itself onto the page The words it spoke inside my head, as couplets, came alive and danced To a music, only the early morning hours could play

For over forty years Kurt Philip Behm has lived within the magic of the 'Perpetual Present.' It has inspired all of his writing, and has allowed him to both see and write about the truth contained within every moment. Once acknowledging this truth within himself and accepting its presence, he started an inward journey that 'time, ' and its deceptive handmaidens, the 'past' and 'future, ' would have only denied. His message is to live not only for today, but this very moment, knowing that this moment is all that we have, have had, or will ever have again. Living within the magic of its 'Perpetual Present' will then free our souls, guiding us on a path toward becoming all that we were truly meant to b

Award wining author Kurt Philip Behm's third novel, 'Searching For Crazy Horse, ' is the seminal work of a forty-year search for the truth within himself. While touring the Rocky Mountains by motorcycle since 1967, he started to hear a voice from deep inside himself talking to him, and saying things that at first he could not understand. The great Crazy Horse's words were confusing when first spoken, but once heard clearly, they allowed the author to break through his own limitations, and finally set himself free. Ride with them together, as they travel the high mountains along the spine of the 'Great Divide.' You will come away with a better understanding of what it meant to be truly free, in a time when the American landscape was big enough to hold all of one's imagination within its heart. And where the true magic within a dream, was in dreaming it together.

Kurt Behm was a typical, middle class baby-boomer kid growing up in the 1950s. While playing badminton with his Sister in the back yard, he tried to retrieve a shuttlecock (birdie) that got stuck up in one of the pine trees which separated the woods from his backyard. His Mothers aluminum clothespole was his weapon of choice. Again and again he threw it up into the tree with no success, until all at once it looked like the 4th of July. Fire and sparks were everywhere. The aluminum clothes pole had threaded itself between the electrical wires that ran hidden through the trees. It was now acting as a conductor between all three wires, creating an effect his father later compared to Guadalcanal. The ensuing fire burned the woods completely to the ground. A year later and amidst the charred remains, his township had the foresight and the vision to turn that rubble into what every red-blodded boy of that era dreamed of having for himself ............. a Playground. Kurt's life from then on would never be the same

For My Children And Grandchildren This book is dedicated to my wonderful children and grandchildren, and of course to any new and special additions that may still come our way. I hope through these stories, my grandchildren will be able to share in the magic of their parent's childhood, in the same way that their parent's are now sharing in theirs. And in the most special way, it is dedicated to Sammy and Bumpers. Two incredible little squirrels that made the stories in this book come to life. It was the magical adventures that Scooter and Buzzy Bear had with Sammy and Bumpers that made these stories possible. I was lucky enough to have witnessed all that follows.
