Laughing With Andromeda is a collection of poetry and prose spanning six decades of reflection and experience. Through these writings, I explore the many dimensions of life, with a particular focus on the mental and spiritual journeys we all share. My hope is that, as you read, you’ll recognize the common threads that connect us—our thoughts, struggles, joys, and discoveries. To close the collection, I’ve included Short Stuff—a series of 40+ brief but powerful statements, each just one or two sentences long. These bite-sized insights are meant to spark inspiration, reflection, and perhaps even a smile.
