O knihe

This collection of poetry is dedicated to all those children across the globe who struggle on a daily basis for food, shelter, comfort, and recognition of their existence. During a time of global pandemic, while First World countries rush to vaccinate their citizens, it is important to realise that none of us are safe until we are all safe. All of the author's profits raised from the sales of this book will be donated to UNICEF Ireland to help support those children whose lives are as important as those of our children and grandchildren. Mainly written under the light of the moon, The Dark Side of Silence is a poignant, contemplative reflection of the author's journey in life to date. Raymond has abandoned any formal structure whilst developing these poems so as to celebrate his neurodiversity from dyslexia and autism. In summary it is a celebration of the individualism that exists in us all. The Dark Side Of Silence is a reminder of how vulnerable each of us is; but it is also a lesson about beauty and inner growth, and how they exist within that vulnerability, once we welcome it as a core part of what we are, and then immerse ourselves in it in the hope of finding out who we truly are. If we run away from our vulnerability, then we are running away from life. We cannot be truly alive unless we are truly vulnerable at the same time. Nor can we be truly alive if we lose the connection to the child each one of us once was, and, in so many ways, will always be. That child has made each of us who we are today.
