Views from a Life

About the Book

What I have presented in the essays is neither wrong-viewed nor right-viewed. It is but one’s viewing. It is open to criticism, alteration of intent, changing of purpose, and laughter at my try at them all. My views are not fixed in stone because I am not. They are attempts at outposts as I keep on the move. For myself, I am hopeful of an outpouring of other essays because essays are to help me stripping away deliberate exaggerations alongside of clever plotlines with an intent to alter the trivia of daily life into grander possibilities for the reader when not confined by what the limitations are to what is real. The essays presented, including the poetic forms dropped in here and there as I perceive as super-concentrated essays, is my way to search out some of the underlying meanings I believe to be worth pulling up for a scrutiny and examination.

About the Author

After living long enough to suspect everything and enjoy the experiences of people rushing off into every possible direction and also being cynical enough to wonder what’s going on around me, I’m not likely ever to get my sought after answers to the biggest of the thoughts I wonder about. Me and most of humankind, and maybe some animal here or there not as yet understood by us, remain endlessly curious. What remains true, I’m not able to crack open the big answer into any of the unknown we are all staring at. My only destiny, along with centuries of others like me, is to make every attempt to handle the job of being one more of the strange species that have to be perplexed and by writing about it. —Maurice Siegel
