Flowers of the Night: Musings from a Sentimental Son

In the early morning hours, the author dictated letters to his mother and father who have already passed. These extraordinary prose-poems explore topics which embrace paradoxes: how seasons transform into eternity, how silence is filled with sound, and how our neighbors are our gold. Our writer, who has been diagnosed with cancer, has come upon a newfound gift to express his soul. We invite you to come on a journey which will share an uncommon vision of beauty with you.

At the author's dying request, this work was compiled, edited and published by his brother, Michael. Inspired by these letters the author's brother in turn wrote daily letters to John and then to friends for several years. In the end it help release the editor's creativity into the world, resulting in several publications in an array of disciplines from biology to philosophy.
