I just added this section to the very last page of each of the four volumes of my work.

About the Author
[Photo here, but shown below.]
Born August 10, 1964. At the time of this writing I am a 61-year-old man who has spent most of his life feeling clumsy, inadequate, and afraid in the presence of others. Outwardly, my path looks scattered — many jobs, many struggles, and little material stability. Inwardly, it has been a long, slow turning toward Light and Truth.
I have worked hard at music, crafts, electronics, carpentry, project management, and study, yet almost everything felt difficult and never quite natural or fluid. Social fear often made me appear distant or “stuck up.” Emotional wounds and weaknesses shaped decades of my life. I made many mistakes, broke many things (including parts of myself), and only in recent years have the pieces begun to come together more gently.
These volumes are not written by an enlightened teacher or a perfected soul. They are the honest reflections of a broken traveler who kept walking anyway. I claim no absolutes, no final truths, and no special authority. I simply share what I have lived, felt, questioned, and glimpsed in my seeking.
If anything here touches you, it is because we are all imperfect beings stumbling toward the same Light. I am still becoming. Thank you for walking with me on these pages.
