Who is ToltecWarrior?

My poetry is a reflection of my philosophical thoughts and continuing journey of awakening. I follow the path with a heart, that of a Toltec warrior. This is a life long process of exploring awareness and expanding perception. I have been most influenced by the great works of Don Miguel Ruiz, Carlos Castaneda, Victor Sanchez, and most recently, Sheri Rosenthal. Their words are ripples flowing through space and time, gently washing upon my mind, helping to clear my filters of perception. I extend my eternal gratitude to these great warriors.
Of course, I have also been influenced by my personal life experiences. I battled my own mortality through a disabling health condition for many years, before a life saving brain surgery helped ease my physical pain and brought back my mental ability to think clearly. This coincided with the accidental death of my daughter at age eleven, in the fall of 2000.
These traumatic experiences provided a climate of deep philosophic introspection of life, spirituality, and myself. In the process, I befriended my past, found purpose and began to see life as perfectly beautiful for the first time. Now, I have peace of mind and happiness. I truly enjoy each moment of my being.
