Toward a Theory of Everything is a mix of science, spirituality, and poetry that examines the connection between the physical and the spiritual on a quest to make sense of existence. What were some themes that were important for you to explore in this book?

The first section of my book, about a “theory of everything,” was difficult to write, because I was challenged with concisely presenting and integrating ideas from my lifetime experiences with my current knowledge, beliefs, and worldview. In addition, I had to search for scientific research to back up some of my assumptions, while at the same time realizing that scientific findings and theory can and should be challenged.

What was the biggest challenge you faced in putting together this poetry collection?

Poetry has always been easy for me, because poetic ideas and phrases come to me as a gift. It is my awareness of the need to write poems and poetic thoughts down as they come to me during dreams or in my conscious state, before they are lost forever. I seldom or never experience writer’s block. All of my memorable lifetime, I have been a thinker.

What is one thing that you hope readers take away from Toward a Theory of Everything?

I write for my readers to expand their worldview vis-à-vis what they have been taught by their parents, culture (including religion), and formal education. Also, in all of my writings, if not most, I communicate for the purpose of helping and healing the reader.
