One of Glen's favorite quotes is:""The method to attain the skill which allows one to effortlessly fall in love with all beings and with all of being is counter-intuitive and surprising to most of us. The unexpected vehicle that takes one to this astonishing level of affection for others is unconditional self-love.
If I remain fond of myself no matter what I have done and no matter what I am doing, I will soon be in love with you and everything else.
Unconditional love is not an obligation; it is not something I “should do.” It is a gift given to me if I will simply allow the spontaneous arrival of its grace."
~Raymond Sigrist

"Death is not an event in life: we do not live to experience death. If we take eternity to mean not infinite temporal duration but timelessness, then eternal life belongs to those who live in the present. Our life has no end in just the way in which our visual field has no limits."

More about Glen:"From Henderson, Kentucky, now residing in Evansville, Indiana. Semi-retired from profit making employment, part-time Helpdesk Assistant at the Evansville-Vanderburgh Public Library and as full as time allows as reader, writer and wanderer. Poetry seems as another way to breathe or reason so far as imagination can reach, poems of thought retreats from the inner space of mind and transmits these signals, vigils and artifacts of history, myth, speculation and conjectures of space frontiers and time passages. As the reader listens intently, the poet speaks joyously, erupting in a torrent of words, phrases, puns, mixed metaphors and looks for a tiny light peeking from behind those inviting eyes and an allure that befalls all shadows that speak in smiles and laughs to a tune that weaves story into allegory and rests in the silences of folds and pink shaded whispers of come...come... entangelo me yet again.".
