Busy Doing Nothing

About the Book

There are voices in these modern times that turn aside into the unfrequented past. Here the light opens those eyes and arranges the past in beautiful memories, for those who remember the good times.

Spoken voice and song are part of our cultural heritage. The light that filters through my words, form patterns into unfrequented paths where words may ennoble or encourage the readers, to seek UNCOMPROMISING LOVE.

About the Author

I will never forget Belmar, N.J.; Ninth Avenue…. Rev. Morris and my Aunt Louvenia, my first job, washing dishes at Sweetman’s Boarding House. (my glasses sliding off into the dish water….I was so young, I Didn’t know I could quit the job.) The Avon Inn, Avon by the Sea, N. J. ( Busboy ). When I wasn’t working, some of us would slip over to Asbury Park, N.J., sneaking into bars where they wouldn’t serve us….we were too young. I have memories that will last forever i.e. The Boy Scout Jamboree, ….Washington, D.C. and the years I attended Camp Atwater in East Brookfield …. Lake Lashaway and the Island….becoming a Life Guard, etc. Walter I. Ray, Jr. Walter Irving Ray, Jr. at an early age learned to cope with the vicissitudes in his life. In his mind’s eye there were no distorted perceptions of people. His poetry creates consciousness and awareness of world differences. Mindful and maintaining awareness, Walter’s poetry often illustrates the acts of caring for another. The tone can be like a musical melody filled with love. My sister and I are proud of all of his accomplishments.
