Relate! is a collection of poetry and essays aimed at readers with an open mind and an open heart. The book is intended to relate to the reader over many different themes. It is both light hearted and serious, sarcastic and honest. Some of the themes include time, perspective, family, dreams (both asleep and awake), nature, aliens, words and language, God, mental illness, and generally being alive and existing. The book discusses the lines between human’s ideologies, and intends to point out and focus on our similarities rather than our differences. A simple and perhaps obvious message of unity in a time of cultural division.
