Meditations, Contemplations and Reflections About Awareness

This is the first in a series of works on wakefulness. In short chapters that take the form of meditations, contemplations, and reflections, the author describes a heightened awareness of being and the path to that awareness. Author commentaries on each poetic piece provide background for and deeper explanation of each lyrical creation.A psychotherapist in his working life, Mr. Alderette suggests that his compositions be read aloud or even be recorded for later listening. Inspired by the experience of his own meditative, contemplative, and reflective states and his close reading of spiritual texts from Tao, Buddhist, Christian, and philosophical sources, he offers his writing as guidance to others who seek heightened awareness.
