Reflections at Mid-Life
by Jay Grooters

Story Poems by the Urban Rancher You've brought to paper a little bit of heaven, the Rocky Mountains. You capture the life, energy, and spirit of dude ranch living- all but gone from the Rockies . . .You take me there - smelling the camp fire, listening to the old cowboy's story, laughing along with everyone else . . . I laughed, I cried, and was touched by your poems . . . As I read, I saw me in younger years. You let me tap memories that need to be replayed, enjoyed, and savored. Mark S. A. Smith,The Valence Group,Colorado Springs, Colorado

With his characterization of "The Urban Rancher", Jay brings his poems about life on a guest ranch in the Colorado mountains and reflections on his life into story form. Using his quiet humor, he shares his journey of self-realization from past to present, and motivates his readers to look inward, discover, grow, and hopefully express themselves in a way they never have before.

I loved reading your Inner Reflections. Especially touching was the story of your little brother ... I laughed at The Garden because that is about how we feel . . . And the Bull Elks Convention was so real I could actually visualize them peeking in the windows . . . Your father-in-law comes across as a hoot, 'Son, let's go for a ride . . .' LOVED IT! Rosita Perez, President, Creative Living Programs, Inc., Brandon, Florida

 

In the Introduction Jay says, "This collection of personal poetry reflects one person's journey of self-enlightenment as he moves through Mid-Life ... My goal is to entertain you, to touch you deep where you live, encourage you to look inward, discover, grow, and express yourself in a way you never have before."

Thank you for your poems, the window into our heart. They really reflect tremendous depth of personal insight and soul searching. John Crudele, CSP, John Crudele Speeches and Seminars, Minneapolis, Minnesota
