Donald E. Smith – författare

In his quest to look for adventure in exotic lands, the author found himself. The book includes his daily journals kept while traveling in Tanzania, Java ,and the former Soviet Union.It includes, also, brief glimpses of life in Denmark, Sweden, Hungary and England. The journals exphasize the lives of people whom he met, not the usual descriptions of statues, monuments and museums. The book is the story of one man''s attempt to find meaning for his life as he seeks to learn how other people live out their lives in far-away places.

This book is a very personal collection of poems and other writings that were written over a period of more than fifty years. They were written at times of strong emotional feelings about love, death, triumphs, tragedies and , even, the most mundane of life''s events.It took fifty years for the author to gain the insight , the perspective and the courage to reveal his feelings for all to see. He hopes that the readers will see and recognizesome of the emotion that plays such a big role in the lives of all of us.
