"Sifting Through the Ashes" is a purge of normal day words and phrases spilled onto the page in complete randomness. In its deepest sense of themes, I've discovered a more cohesive way to explore the creative process. I've strayed from my more logical workings to a more budding body of beautification. The themes are set from rhyming couplets to story telling stanzas. The lines are more likeable because of the sound I've procured. And the lines also find their identity through the meanings of each word. All in all, "Sifting Through the Ashes" is a great attempt to perfect the English word.

Human intelligence has two attributes or qualities: 1. being systematically intelligence or smart or wise 2. being universally knowledgeable My book "Roadmap to Knowledge" tries to help you to acquire those two qualities. Is my endeavor too pretentious? Not more than a physician who bases his/her applied science and art of healing on anatomy, physiology and morbidity. The "ingredients" of my intellectual "recipe" are: Some theology Philosophy Psychology Logic, Pedagogy And Thirty years of teaching Watered by a lot of prayers Meditations I split my "Roadmap to Knowledge" in two books for the obvious reason of treating with caution, diligence and respect for each quality to acquire. My books are destined not only for reading, but also for practicing along with, if you are serious about cultivating your own intelligence. GOOD (INTELLECTUAL) APPETITE!
