Sincerely Amazing !
A must have for your inspiration library. I Keep David’s book right on my kitchen table always. Each time I open it and read from his book, it seems to relate to what ever it is that’s parallel to my life at that moment.

David truly has a way of capturing words that open the eyesight of the mind, spirit.

Dear David;

I wanted to let you know that your collection of poems and stories, “Stones, Winds and Life,” moved my wife and I. From one page to the next, your thoughts gave a voice to an overall way-of-life which we’ve held so dear: optimism, and the identification of the “silver linings” within everything, however seemingly negative. Trying to cope within the framework that is our modern, technological society all-the-while retaining focus upon the aspects of life that are truly important; feeding our souls as much as we fulfill our other hungers; realizing the futility and self-defeating nature of striving for the material… it was heart warming to hear these lessons of living put so simply and eloquently. You have reminded us of how truly important it is to retain that “child within the parent it came” and embrace the virtues of innocence and wonder. Growing-up and growing describe two very different things to me… I’ve always preferred to grow, just not necessarily “up.” Thanks again for reminding us to look beyond “society’s mold!”

Warmest Regards;

Re: “Stones, Winds and Life” by David Sweet

From dark corners of death, steel and despair, in the No Man’s Land of “Generals and Pawns” to the joyful sneezes-yes, sneezes- of “Missiles,” David Sweet’s beautiful collection is about love and the places I’ve never thought to look for it. “Clues” and “Welcome Back To Ego World!” just won’t leave me alone!

David Sweet’s book, “Stone, Winds and Life,” is a unique, thought-provoking collection of work. The variety of writings and topics makes you curious to find what is on the next turning of the page. The following are a few selections that particularly stood out to me:

In “Last Call,” I like how David chooses of a very routine act of nature, such as falling of the leaves in autumn, and explores it, finding a way to meaningfully apply it to your life.

“Clues” is a proverbial poem that explores man’s soul, nature, and the idea of seeking truth. It left me with a smile on my face.

“Fortunes” also lends itself to a proverbial style. I enjoy the pictures David paints as he encourages us through this poem, to take one day at a time… that life’s riches and fortunes are not necessarily those things that are tangible.

Dear David –

Opening your book after having not read it for sometime, I was pleased to find its power and wisdom still very captivating. My favorite poems, just to name a few, are “Thought Forms,” “Life is on Time,” “Dirty Feast,” “In the Moment,” “Masks,” and “Let the Children Be.”

There is an energy that is present through out the book, however, those poems speak of truth and life. They are about the lessons I strive to learn and keep close at heart daily. It has always seemed important to listen in life for those little “nuggets” of wisdom — in fact, I often search for them. I am more than impressed to find the source of such nuggets to be within arms distance.

Thank you for sharing your heart and mind with us.

Sincerely,

Hi DavId,

It’s so difficult for me to write a review of a book because I’ve never done one before. So, here goes.
Stones, Winds, and Life is not your ordinary book. The kaleidoscope known as David Sweet shines brilliantly in this ever diverse gathering of his poems, plays, short stories, and tales. Each new poem or story brings a new pattern of thoughts, words, colors, images, rhythms to transport you to another world. Cowboys, pollen, Kings, trees, horses, a lake, and more are all arranged into new patterns that only David can imagine, bring to life, and share with us.

How’s that?

Love,

k
